Hill Holder: Adjustment

Confirm stopping and starting performances by activating the hill holder on an uphill road of 3° or higher inclination.

1. If the vehicle does not stop;

   Tighten the adjusting nut of PHV cable.

2. If the vehicle does not start properly;
   • Case A - 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.

   • Case B - 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 (status in Case A). Then make adjustment the same as in Case A.

   CAUTION: Whenever turning the adjusting nut, prevent the PHV cable from revolving.
