Correct answer

The hill start assist system (Hill Holder) is designed to make moving off on slopes easier. When the driver lifts their foot off the brake, the system keeps the brakes applied for a moment, stopping the vehicle rolling back while the accelerator is pressed and the vehicle moves off. This improves safety and stops the vehicle moving backwards.
