Hill Holder Question

Poster 27 April 2005 04:05:18
 Hi,
I'm curious to know. Let's say when I'm at the bottom of a hill, I start my
Forester in 1st gear and of course the hill holder will kick in to hold the
car until I release the clutch. However, when I depress the clutch again to
change to 2nd gear and I'm still climbing the hill, will the hill holder
kick in when depress the clutch?

 No, beacuse you are not using the brakes.

 The Hill Holder works by holding the brake-fluid pressure that you applied
in the system as long as the clutch is held in , thereby keeping brakes
engaged. The Hill Holder does not apply the brakes. Once the brake-fluid
pressure is released, either by the Hill Holder valve or by letting the
brake pedal up in normal situation, you must re-pressurize the system with
the brake pedal.

So why doesn't the same apply when you're rolling to a stop?
If I put the clutch in and select neutral when coming down to a set of
lights, apply brakes, and then release the brakes while still holding in the
clutch, why doesn't my car continue to brake? Safety feature?

The hill holder is sensitive to inclination of the vehicle.

See archives of this group, a link was posted that covered engineering of
the device in detail. Probably about 2 - 4 weeks ago.

 Hill holder also need a minimum brake pressure.

technologie?
Near the proportion valve or brake-booster or ? (photo ? ;-)­ )

Try rolling backwards down a hill and then touch and release the brakes.
They will stay engaged. The hill holder requires the nose of the vehicle
to be up.

A Studebaker invention from the 50's!!!!

Still amazes me that only Subaru picked up on it. Replaced my 86 GL's last
summer, was leaking, thought about taking it out, but boy; they sure spoil
you when it comes to hills. :)­
