Hill hold

[slimbarry]

Can't seem to find it on the Seat website but does the FR Ibiza 1.4 DSG have hill hold control?

Is it selectable and does it maintain brake pressure when you come to a stop? Only know this as the passat does it.

Thanks.

I have one or 2 autos the autos (DSG)don't roll back any way, so don't think you will need it.

The FR, Cupra and Boc come with hill hold standard along with ESP, EBA and tyre pressure monitoring. On all other models it is an optional extra. That is according to the information pack I have. It also says all cars over 100PS come with XDS added too. Hope this helps.

Does it work on the flat when you come to a stop?

Can you turn it on & off? Its annoying in the passat when you are doing parking manouvers.

Cheers.

That I wouldn't be able to tell you as I don't have my boc yet and have never experienced it in action.

It cant be deactivated, but it is not annoying at all. (it is for manuals but not for the dsgs) But it is not something you will need. The dsg does the same. When you stop and let off the brakes, the hill hold will keep you stoped for 2 sec and after that the dsg will start moving the car forward even if its uphill.

Dont fink it works on flat suface, ive had no probs parking.

My drive is at quite an angle and the hill hold if very handy reversing off

 

[slimbarry]

Sounds like it will just stop the car rolling back, not just hold it without the brake pedal pressed.

 

[techie]

Yeah, its not like the Passat that has an electric handbrake.

Same with ours -

I have read the handbook but have no idea what it is going to do at times.

That's exactly what mine is like and half the time the brake pedal can be pressed down and other times there's too much pressure that it can't be pressed down any further - and i thought this would help me figure out when it was working and when it wasn't but it didn't - so i've given up with it....

i dont really use the hill hold didnt actually know it was a hill hold thought it might mess the dsg up...i will use it more now..

 

[Dave 77]

Mine works fine.

I park on my driveway which is at quite a angle and the hill hold is really usefull getting off it

There is one junction I come up to on the way home from work that it really helps on, its quite an incline and works perfectly.
