Thanks, I assume what you meant was "before car starts rolling FORWARDS" for this scenario. In short there is hill assist also for downslope when reverse gear is engaged.

Yup, whether up or down slop, hill assist kicks in when set to reverse gear. Tested.

Got a question about stopping on a downslope.

 

Just now was at Parkway Parade exiting. Those familiar will know that the exit gantry is on a downslope. The gantry systen could not detect my card, and after adjusting card still couldnt read so I thought to reverse back and go forward again.

 

I was wondering if I needed to pull the handbrake, engage R, press accelerator a bit and release handbrake to make this move. Which is what I would do in a manual car, which I was used to. For the FXT do I need to do this ? Or just put foot on brake, engage R, release foot from brake and press accelerator? Is there a hill assist for reverse or is there sufficient torque to prevent me from rolling down forward and hitting the gantry when I shift my right foot from brake to accelerator?

 

By the way the system read my card before I tried to reverse but it got me thinking....

 

 

for normal auto car, I would put left foot on brake while in R, apply light pressure on accelerator using right foot before releasing left foot brake.

 

btw some CVT SJ FXT overseas owners have reported insufficient torque when trying to reverse steep upslope/over a kerb. U may need to rev it quite a bit to go.

I felt my forester rolled back very slightly when i release handbrake and moved from P->D. Is this normal?

Do you depress the foot brake while shifting from P -> D?

Maybe we have a different HU. my son's Spotify on Apple works well

 

My HU has a Subaru logo upon power up. Maybe it's factory fitted

I wonder what new promotions they will have with the slight decrease of the recent COE..

Not sure where u can get locally. One of the sites u can get online is japanparts.com

Probably give a promo with reduction from list price equivalent to the COE drop. Then when u discuss with SE, slip in more discount to seal the deal.

Thanks bro. Guess there is not much interest from this group on accessories. By the way, do you know what is the engine code or type code for 2016 FXT? is it FJ, EJ or SG??
