Abstract
A hill-hold method and system for a vehicle with manual transmission provides automated brake release timing when the vehicle's clutch is still disengaged to minimize or even prevent backward coasting of such a vehicle on a non-zero grade or hill by delaying full release of the brakes when the vehicle operator is in the transition of releasing the brake pedal and moving to the accelerator pedal.
