First off if I am in the wrong section I am sorry. I have a 2012 MCS w/ manual transmission. I have had it about a month. I noticed that when I stop completely on a slight incline and I take my foot off the brake the car does not immediately sart to roll backwards maybe a 2-3 second delay. Is that normal? Just thought I would ask here before I call the dealership.

thanks for any help.

 

i suggest that you read the owners manual, you will find that this is normal, it is called "hill assist" or some such catchy name

there is a lot of information about your car in the om

Cool! Thanks for the info bmwr606 and you are correct I should have read the om more carefully and skimmed less, I feel silly, but thanks for your help none the less I appreciate it.

No need to feel silly, there is tons of stuff in there the average driver wouldn't notice or know how to work. But yeah RTFM

 

Hill assist... I hate it.

 

Turn off dsc and it should go away.

 

Thanks! I will try that...

Just a little story- I was test driving another car at the MINI dealership not long ago. It was a manual transmission and my salesperson warned me of a large hill that I would have to stop/start on. She asked me if I wanted her to do it. I refused, saying I had been driving stick all my life, it's no problem. She insisted that I didn't know how to start on a hill just because I had hill assist on my MINI...

 

Okay Yetti, I get it, I get it, RTFM - so glad my children won't see this casue I would never hear the end of it. Unfortunately, everytime I start to read the thing, I end up going to my car kind of following along with the manual and well you know once I get in it I need to drive it. Geeze, I know, I am just like a little kid. Never thought at my age I would be so tickled about a car.

RedandBlack - now that I know what it is (my bad) maybe it won't be as annoying or at least I won't wonder if I was imagining something. Your car really looks tight.

 

Tried this last night on my 2009, both with limited DSC and DSC off, and the hill assist still was active.
