Our Chrysler delta hill holder simply never appears to work, is this the same with all bravo./delta etc ?

I haven't got it, but my hill-start technique is close to perfection.
only works if you have applied brakes hard
only works if you have applied brakes hard
mine only works if im at a stupid angle
could be.
not too bothered, LOL
Must say I'm not all that bothered either it just bugs me slightly that it doesn't seem to function what's the point of pointless over tech design if it doesn't even work all the time?
Well I got to a junction with a nice slope on it today in normal driving light braking it didn't hold but once I'd stamped on the pedal slightly harder it worked for the first time ever since owning the car, what a stupid system just braking hard enough to bring the car to rest really ought to be good enough, I now know the technique so if we take the delta rather than the mx5 I will try it out in the lakes next week
If you are going uphill, gravity will have assisted braking. Once you have stopped, gravity will be pulling you babck down again, so more brake force will be required.
think about how the system might work
you stop the car
you have to stay with foot applied to brake to stop it rolling back
the car detects you are stopped on a slope
it keeps the brake applied using the pressure you put into the brakes
ergo unless you apply sufficient pressure when stationary it cannot apply hill holder
