Triggering hill hold
« on: April 11, 2025, 15:33:08 »

Can someone explain to me how to trigger hill hold. I needed it today for the first time but failed to get it to work so just had to use my manlyness.

I tried:
 in gear + clutch in +  rear brake - didn't show in the display, not working
 in gear + clutch in +  front brake - didn't show in the display, not working

It was definately on a hill. Hill hold is enabled in the settings.

It doesn't say anything about showing in the display?  :shrug:

If you don't already have a copy of the owner's manual, you can download a free copy from https://genuinesuzukimanuals.com/#

Pg 2-66 throught to pg 2-68 of the owner's manual discusses the Hill Hold menu selection, while pg 2-84 trought to pg 2-87 of the same manual discusses the Hill Hold steps.
And according to the manual, there is a Hill Hold indication light (see pg 2-85 and pg 2-86)   I think knowing where the light is located og the display / gauges is key. Once again refer to the own's manual.

I've used my hill hold a few times.
Clutch in, in gear, BOTH brakes applied, then just let go of the brakes.
If you then grab a brake, or use the throttle, it cancels the hill hold.
Dash will warn you when it's about to release, as you only get about 30 seconds.
