unofix Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I'd had my car 6 months before I found out (A) that I had Autohold (B) what it actually did !! I must admit having driven mostly automatics for many many years I just got used to having to keep my foot on the brake when stopped........ BUT NOW with the invention of black magic autohold I don't have to 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The auto hold button being the biggest button in the car apart from the park brake was the epiphany for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather save the money and use my senior pass and take the bus!😃 I wouldn't argue Alex, if you like it then that's fine by me!😃 Cross traffic alert is much more use to me. I don’t have auto hold but occasionally use HSA. Saves using the handbrake at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnneZ Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone was able to confirm whether the Puma manual mhev did or didn't have the hill start assist? Recently collected mine and checking the manual says to switch on by: SWITCHING HILL START ASSIST ON AND OFF MANUAL TRANSMISSION, VEHICLES WITH: SYNC 3 1. Press Settings on the touchscreen. 2. Press Driver Assistance. 3. Switch Hill Start Assist on or off. The system remembers the last setting when you start your vehicle. Note:There is no indicator to indicate whether the system is on or off. However I have no hill start assist in the drop down 😕 Rolled back for the first time in many years having relied on my Fiesta previously! I'm checking with the dealer and will see what it says, but if anyone did find out please let me know. Thanks Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizmo Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 My Puma Vignale has it. I do not remember switching it on. Think it must have been default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy-Dodger Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 For information, Hill Start Assist is a feature on my 2023 Puma ST-Line X (manual) but there is no option to switch it on/off in the settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizmo Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 I have a 71 plate Puma Vignale manual and it has hill start assist. If for some reason it's not available a message should appear to have the vehicle checked asap. Seems like it's module controlled and could require an update. A Ford dealer can advise.
