On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal:
- if you are in first gear or neutral with a manual gearbox,
- if you are in position A or M with an electronic gearbox.
- if you are in position D or M with an automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationary and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held for a brief moment when you release the brake pedal.
