"Hill start" buttons have been standard on ICE cars for some time now.
Hell, my 1987 Toyota pickup had one. You could put it in 1st gear, let the clutch out and then turn the key to start, if you were on a very steep hill. Comes in handy offroad.
- toast0 3y agoMy 2017 Chrysler Pacifica doesn't have a hill start button (nor does it just do it, afaik, which I've had with some rentals), so I'm not so sure it's standard on ICE cars for some time. My 2014 PHEV does have a button, but I don't use it, because when I'm in the situation that needs it, there's usually cars behind me, and that's not a good time to test and see how it works.
