On my Audi, I have a feature called "Hill Hold Assist" which enables the car to engage the parking brake by depressing the brake pedal.
So when the car comes to a halt (i.e. at a set of traffic lights), it will immediately "hold" without having to apply a parking brake by a separate manoeuvre. The parking brake is then lifted as soon as you depress the accelerator pedal.
The benefit of this being you can keep the car in drive continually even when stopping in traffic or at a set of lights without having to move the gears into neutral or park, or applying the parking brake.
Does anyone know if Hill Launch Assist in the Velar performs the same function?
I took a test drive in a P380 HSE yesterday and I didn't appear to have this function available and the dealer accompanying me didn't know if it was possible.
Thoughts anyone?
