I know there is already a HH topic but thought not to break up their discussions.

 

How does PA + HH work or should this only be used on the flat.

Hill Hold....on the flat ? I think the clue is in the name

 

Can't advise on PA though, as I've not got it.

 , it is a hot day today.

A hot day in Blighty......so it is possible! :-))

With due respect to DonSZ5, I think his comparison is strictly with a UK standard.  The Oz standard is something else entirely :sun:

I've got Park assist with a DSG Yeti and it works fine on a hill, need to watch your revs but had no problems at all.

Hill Hold: stop on a hill. apply foot brake hard. let go of footbrake and you have 2 seconds to move across to the throttle before the car starts to roll back.

 

Park assist: loved it on my DSG 4x4. (Miss it on my Freelander)

drive slowly (less than 18mph) past a line of parked vehicles after pushing the button.

When the car detects a gap large enough it displays that on maxidot.

stop. engage reverse. Not to quickly mind, or it won't work.

The take foot off throttle and cover brake (this is all i needed to do for the DSG)

Remember you need to keep your eyes open to what is going on around you as if you were doing the steering.

make sure you are NOT touching the steering wheel.

Then it bongs at you and also the maxidot shows to to move forwards, stop, not forgetting to keep your eyes open for what is around you

engage 1st gear and inch forwards, without touching the steering wheel.

It will bong at you to either select reverse or to let you know you are parked (different bong from memory).

It will get you into very tight spaces, which can be a bu99er to get out of :lol:

It is brilliant, but if the cars are not parallel on either side it does confuse the system.

 

Remember to watch out where you are going.

 

I take no responsibility if you hit anything or anyone whilst using it.

 

FTFM.

You'll be pleased to know latest PA gets you out of a parking space too ....
