Ghostrider28 might be in a better position to reply this as I have no idea how it works in the duster and whether it was activated or not or if there is any option to activate/deactivate it. Last edited by aah78 : 2nd April 2015 at 23:19. Reason: Posts merged. | ||

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Hill Start Assist Holds the brakes for around 2 seconds after you release the brake pedal with the clutch pedal depressed, this makes it possible to start on a incline without using handbrake. There is no manual switch unlike Hill descent control. |

There should be some criteria for vehicles wanting to go to off-beat places. You never know when Sandakphu might go on that list or other lovely places. | ||

| ![]() Noob question and not sure if it applies to the context of 'pure adrenaline driven' driving expeditions. All AWD vehicles mentioned here are manual drives but AWD's are also available in Automatics, if I am not wrong. Wouldn't driving an automatic with assistive vehicle electronics give such vehicles a fair chance of going through the terrain in a much easier manner? I do not mean any disrespect to the drivers (conquerors) of such formidable terrain nor the terrain itself, but this is just a thought that comes to me considering the slopes, stop-start, and reverse hill start situations? Mods- if this post is not in context of the topic here or does not add value to the conversation, please feel free to delete. Thanks ![]() |

Dont mix AWD vehicles and 4WD vehicles. Both are way different from each other. Having low ratio in 4WD vehicles is great and a must for offroading (Offroading not Softroading) Regards, Shubhendra Singh | |

If you backward reference to this post of mine. Quote:
Like say for example, A discovery might be too big to make it, that does not mean, its AWD system is suspect. There were various factors involved, like the Gearing that Skoda has chosen (despite having huge torque advantage), the Ground Clearance, the engine state of tune and rev restrictions in offroad mode and probably the final nail being warning lights in dashboard. But on the otherhand, we have reasons to believe that the Duster 4X4 will succeed. So choosing your AWD/4WD would be best decided by what you want from it. | ||

With the automatics with torque converter, there is no possibility of clutch burning (as there is no clutch) but I guess the AT oil can get impacted under high operating temperature which results in a breakdown. | |

And just to clear the dust, my 2WD Safari also couldnt clear that incline just because of shear weight, soft suspension. Regards, Shubhendra Singh | |
