No hillstart assist on 2015 Ford Focus Automatic?
I have a 2015 Focus Automatic & have read online that all focus automatics by Ford have hillstart assist, my friend also has a 2015 Focus and has this feature, however whenever I go into my settings all I have is active city stop, traction control, and tyre monitor or something along those lines. I can't find hillstart assist anywhere. Does my car just not have it? I've seen videos of other people putting it on via laptops - far too advanced for me. However it's got me thinking. Are Ford able to put it on for me and what kind of price would I be looking at? I would really like it, more than the other features I have. I miss my 03 Focus and it holding itself on hills, I didn't realise new automatics rolled back so much. I'm having to re teach myself all over again!
My 2014 Focus had it. It is active by default and there were no settings to turn it off.
1. You don't have an automatic, you have dual clutch automated manual, while it does shift gears by itself it's not considered an automatic, their principles of operation are quite different.
2. If you have an automatic or DCT, you can simply use *the brakes* to keep the car from rolling back on a hill. With a manual there's some benefit to hillstart assist, on an automatic? No so much.
3. Nevertheless your car should have it. Refer to page 151 of your owner's manual for information regarding it's operation.
