2022 Ford EcoSport – Hill Start Assist in Penticton

The 2022 Ford EcoSport will be equipped with the hill start assist feature. This technology is becoming increasingly popular in modern cars, but it is one of those things you do not think about until you need it.
The 2022 Ford EcoSport hill start assist feature uses an electric motor to provide power for two seconds when starting from a stop on a hill or incline. The engine is turned off when the EcoSport comes to a complete stop, but it can begin again automatically in case of emergency. The hill start assist feature is designed to help drivers with manual transmissions get off the line without rolling back or stalling. When driving up a steep hill and putting your foot down on the gas pedal while coming to a stoplight, this feature can automatically apply pressure to the brake pedal without worrying about stalling out or rolling back while waiting for traffic lights to change colors. It also makes it easier for drivers to start on slippery surfaces such as ice or snow.
For instance, if you want to drive away from an uphill stop, you must press the pedal gently and depress the clutch pedal. The hill start assist will control the throttle and apply just enough power so your car will not roll back when you let go of the brake pedal.
