Re: T31 - Hill Start Assist


In mine it seems to hold longer than two seconds. Being a CVT its not an issue . It seems to take off as soon as I use the Accelerator . Also I have a tendency to use two feet , one on the brake the other the acceerator.

I asked Nissan yesterday at my service if the hill start Assist time could be changed, or even if it can be turned off. The answer was no.

I had my doubts about the Hioll Start Assist working around where I live, so I went in search of answers..

Nissan at Redcliffe did not know how it worked..at all ..

I searched the web and found a reference in a Victorian Dealers website, to the hill start assist working only for 2 seconds when in first gear on a hill of more than 10 degrees angle.

If you commence to move then stop again it does not necesssarily re-engage the hill statrt assist.

Re: T31 - Hill Start Assist


The hill start is a good idea - but not thought through. You stop on a modest hill and you don't know if it is applied. There should be an indicator light. Also it caught me out in the early days, stop on a hil, apply hand brake, car held securley, then 2 secs later it starts to roll back into the car behind! Hand brake needed more pull.

Re: T31 - Hill Start Assist


Its a useless thing.... It sometimes engages on my driveway, sometimes not. And when trying to take off out of a shopping centre today it grabbed on and caused the T31 diesel manual to stall emoticon

The way it is, I wish it could just be turned off, as it seems to be longer than 2 sec - and I can drive better than it works. If I need a hill start, there is a hand brake, that I know is engaged, as I used it.

%^&n %^*& of a thing!
