Hill Start Assist

Hill Start Assist

The hill start assist fitted in the Volkswagen Touareg governs the starting torque when pulling away on an uphill incline and interacts with the hydraulic brake assist and the transmission control to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards by applying the brakes. This gives drivers a simple and highly convenient means of pulling away safely uphill by effectively eliminating any possibility of the vehicle rolling backwards or, even worse, the engine stalling.
