Hi, I have recently upgraded from an SV6 auto Ute to a Redline sedan (manual). I am really struggling with the hill start assist/hand brake. Not sure if I am just a lousy driver and I have searched this topic on here and not sure what I am doing wrong.
I stop on hill, apply hand brake and when I go to take off the bloody car rolls back, apply hand brake and try again, usually get it second time round (with some revs) and let the hand brake auto release.
Well I was parked in a carpark today and it took me three goes to get the car to take off and nearly hit the car behind as it rolled back a little on each attempt. I realise if you do not use the hand brake, but the foot brake it should hold, the owners manual did not really explain it.
Not sure if I release the hand brake manually if it will work better, maybe i need to practice it when no one is around to get it right.
