V8 Vantage Hill Start Assist

[vicccli]

Hi,

I bought at 2014MY V8 Vantage recently and I read that V8 Vantages after 2012 model year are equipped with Hill Start Assist. My question is whether this is included in every car after 2012 as part of the standard features (as I cannot see it in any feature description in the dealership websites)? Also, is this function automatically on (ie I do not need to switch it on somewhere)?

Many thanks for your help!

It just automatically works if you stop on an incline and the drive off again. Mine is manual transmission, I don't know about the automated shift, but I would assume it's the same.

I have a 2012 V8VS with paddle shifters and it occurs automatically.
