  1. I am not sure if i read this right. I thought the hill assist was to stop the car rolling during the time it took to take your foot off of the brake pedal and move it to the accelerator and pulling away. on my car if i pull up on a hill the car takes a second or so for the hill assist alert to come on (as your car does) I then leave my foot on the foot brake until I need to move off - no free rolling. Are you saying: If you stop then pull away almost instantly the 'electronics' dont 'set' and you get a not insignificant jerk pulling away? If so then I have to agree it is very anoying but as someone else said you do 'modify' your driving style to suit. not the answer you were looking for I am sure. my biggest problem with the powershift is when reversing off of my drive then pulling away. unless I stop, slowly shift to drive, wait and then pull away I get that 'jerk' i am slowly getting used too! The other day my 3 year old granddaughter glaired at me from the back as if to say... WTF! steady granddad!
