Hill Holder: Adjustment

Perform inspection of stop, start performance on a hill with an incline of 3° or more.

1. If the vehicle will not stop:

   Tighten the adjusting nut of the PHV cable.

2. If the vehicle does not advance properly:
   • Case A - If the hill holder is released after the clutch is connected (engine stalls easily):

     Loosen the adjusting nut gradually until a smooth start is possible.

   • Case B - If the hill holder is released before the clutch is connected (vehicle moves backward):

     Tighten the adjusting nut so that the hill holder releases after connecting the clutch pedal. (Case A) then perform the same adjustment as for Case A.

     CAUTION: When turning the adjusting nut, always make sure that the PHV cable does not turn.
