Hill Holder: Adjustment

  1. If vehicle does not stop; tighten adjusting nut of Pressure Hold Valve (PHV) cable.
  2. If vehicle does not start properly:
    1. When the hill holder is released later than engagement of clutch pedal (engine tends to stall), loosen adjusting nut gradually until smooth starting is enabled.
      CAUTION: Whenever turning the adjusting nut, prevent the PHV cable from revolving.
    2. When the hill holder is released earlier than engagement of clutch pedal (vehicle slips down slightly), tighten the adjusting nut so that hill holder is released later than engagement of clutch pedal. See Fig 1 . Then, loosen adjusting nut gradually until smooth starting is enabled.
