What is the Hill Holder in a Vehicle

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Brake system

In this video tutorial, see what the Hill Holder does in a vehicle. If you have a recently manufactured vehicle with an automatic or manual gearbox, you may have noticed that when starting on an incline, the car holds still, allowing for a smoother start. This advantage comes from the Hill Holder, an electric system that facilitates starting, especially on hills. Without this system, when stopped on an incline, for example at a traffic light, releasing the handbrake causes the car to roll back. With this electric system, when the handbrake is released, the car automatically brakes to ensure a safer and easier start.
