HSA ( Hill Start Assist )

At Carage, we’re pleased to present this video on Hill Start Assist (HSA)—a crucial feature in modern vehicles, especially those with automatic transmissions or manual transmissions. HSA is designed to hold the brake momentarily when the vehicle is on a slope, preventing it from rolling backward as the driver moves their foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

This technology works by maintaining brake pressure for a few seconds after the brake pedal is released, giving the driver time to engage the throttle. Whether you’re using a parking brake or relying on this automatic feature, HSA enhances driving safety and comfort.

HSA is particularly beneficial for vehicles with manual transmissions, where starting on an incline can be more challenging. It helps the driver by automatically releasing the brake once enough torque is applied.

If your Hill Start Assist system isn’t working properly, don’t wait. Contact Carage auto repair shop in Jupiter, FL, today to speak with one of our expert service advisers. We’ll help schedule an inspection and ensure your HSA—and your entire braking system—is functioning properly.
