R56 Hill Assist @*&%@
#51
The thing is Tornado, what you are describing is not the way hill assist should be behaving. Yours sounds broken.
You should be able to make a leisurely transition from brake to throttle, release the clutch while applying throttle and the CM should just move forward with no reverse roll while moving from brake to throttle.
I don't under stand your 2 second issue, the hill assist should release as soon as you move forward regardless.
The CM is a little more touchy at stalling because the engine is a little doggy for a vehicle of that weight before the turbo kicks in. I drove four different all 4s at the dealership when I was test driving and none of them had the issue with hill assist that you are describing.

I have watched this string with interest - not because I have driven manuals for over 50 years and am a better driver - but I do not have a problem with HA. I am thinking maybe something is amiss with the OP's HA.
When I pull up to a stop on a hill and put the trans in 1st to be ready to go and the clutch is depressed and my right foot is on the brake, I know the HA is in effect. When I move my right foot to the gas and release the clutch, the HA immediately releases and I move forward. I have - in 2+ years and 30k miles - never had the HA not release.
It the OP's does not release and his rear wheels drag, I think there is a problem the dealer should address.

Didn't mean to insult you that was not my intention, but knowing what I know about the HA systems I doubt very much that it is the vehicle. I think it's a technique issue.

According to the WDS:
AFA: Drive-off assistant
When driving off on an incline, a switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal is required. Here, the drive-off assistant prevents the vehicle from rolling in the following situations:
