Hi all, I have a manual PX3 Ranger and I would like to turn off the hill start assist. I find that whilst towing a caravan up hill, this feature makes it very difficult to get going from a complete stop as it applies the caravan brakes as well as the car brakes and the car doesn’t have the grunt to overcome this.
I thought I had this option on the cluster, but I couldn’t find it this morning driving to work. Is there a forscan code to enable this option on the cluster?
Thanks

This should be an option to disable or enable in the driver assist menu on the right hand side of the cluster.

Haven't looked at the HillStart configuration in FORscan, but on VW's you can adjust the hold time.
