hi all,the easiest way when u r on a slope is that treat it like manual car. When u stop at slope, u can put the gear to neutral n engage handbrake. When u want to move, slot to d, wait until the clutch engage without pressing footbrake. U actually can feel the car want to move forward. Or the easiest, monitor the rpm meter, if the rpm meter move at 1k rpm n above a bit without throttle, then disengage handbrake n apply throttle. It wont roll down.
On the other note if during stop n go on slope when u just using ur footbrake, u can slowly disengage footbrake to ensure the clutch is closed@disengaged then apply throttle promptly. If u fully disengage the footbrake it will roll down a bit b4 clutch is closed. if u disengage the footbrake very fast, dont worry,just apply throttle. Dont afraid to apply throttle around 1.5k rpm at slope cause it will start to move the car slowly, not promptly like auto car. If u r driving up on parking lot, u realise that the rpm is raise higher, but the car slowly move compare to auto cars. Its not that it doesnt have the power, but it is one of the strategy implemented for safety reason so that u wont bump to other car infront or maybe the side barrier cause if cvt doesnt have that strategy, it will be too fast. Thats why untill 1.6k rpm, the car start moving a bit slow b4 it release its full torque, in order to facilitate when driving in parking lot, stop n go traffic,over a hump n when driving around housing area where u need to drive slow. It is easier to over rev cvt equip car, n when the engine has so much torque at lower rpm, if release it for instance, it may endanger the driver n people around it. As additional safety measure,it also equip with traction control.
I had to agree with dares on hill assist separately, but it will incurr cost. But cvt supply by punch already has hill assist but it is not as efficient as hill assist in many dual clutch gearbox equip cars, but it has.
Bye.
