My understanding is that if the Hill Start Control is working it will hold for a couple of seconds whilst you move your foot from the brake and place it on the accelerator to move off. Also be aware that you may also experience what is happening with our MB Zetec TDCi. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Currently it's back at the dealer for rectification of Multi function display, Bluetooth and radio problems for about the seventh or eighth time. Also the auto wipers seem to have a mind of their own and will randomly operate even when the wipers are fully switched off. Of course Ford deny that they are experiencing any problems with the Mondeo like we are.
