powderhound Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 Yesterday while parallel parking on a downhill I thought my hillholder held the car...couldn't be. So to day at a stop light with the car pointing downhill I tried it and sure enough it held the car. I thought the hillholder was only supposed to keep the car from rolling backwards. Any ideas why mine is working on downhills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngllhm Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 it doesn't matter if your on a hill or not it will work on flat to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
who1981 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 there is a ball that rolls forward and back on hills. this should prevent the HH from holding on a level or down-slope (and from causing your breaks to lock on when stopping with the clutch in) http://www.main.experiencetherave.com:8080/subaru_manual_scans/FSM_Scans/hillholder.jpg Perhaps it's getting stuck, or is cloged.? (break flush/bleed?) I disable my HH at the fist heavy frost in the winter... Hill holder is not your friend in the snow, if you need to say... Slowly back down a snow-covered drive. It can send you spinnin'/ Good for summer though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
