CSL Hill Starts

nw99 · 17-04-2015, 09:34 PM

I was told there is a way to program the CSL to not roll back on hill starts . Is anyone aware of this and how to do it please .
Just picked up my 2nd CSL with 6,300 miles and immaculate inside and out still smells new and has the blue seat covers on the back of the seats very happy .

I found how to do it using the clever little lever in the centre console which I lift before taking my foot off the brake, then lower again as I accelerate. I am not sure if this is mentioned in the manual, I haven't looked, but it seems to work really nicely.

I pull the left paddle for about 2 seconds.

Very low miles.

Congrats on the new car, sounds smashing!

No idea on bill starts though I'm afraid, just use the handbrake myself too

As said,just pull the left paddle when on an incline for a couple of seconds

I wouldn't use that feature as it uses the clutch to hold the car.
I simply use the handbrake in those situations, as mentioned.

Thank god for that - thought I was going mental! Seem to remember being taught about that lever in my first few lessons about 25 years ago
