Mark,

Looks like all manual transmission cars.

I do agree with the wheel blocking the view of the tach and speedo in my seating position. However, on the street I use the center display to display the speed/MPH and listen to the motor when winding her out. At the track the MPH is not important so I will use the center display for coolant temps. ( wish it had oil pressure or oil temps reading out on the center display as well)

I'm with you on this, Matt! Thankfully, they have the LCD with the speed, but, unfortunately, that's all it shows when selected. I don't think I have quite a good enough ear to hit 6500 every time.

They might as well start over and take all the gauges out, and just put a large LCD display with all readouts visible at one time, including oil pressure, temp, trans temp, coolant temp, speed, tach, even diff temp. They could make it user configurable, too. Some could even go on the MyLink screen.

I will try 3 things once I see HSA is activated

1) Step on the gas and release the clutch at the same time
2) Step on the gas without releasing the clutch
3) Start to release the clutch without stepping on the gas.

Ok tried this last night...The "test location" It is a parking spot I can pull in while facing uphill and pull straight out up the incline as well. The incline is step enough that HSA turns on every time.

I tried this 3 times and did feel the car hold me in place but it seemed to release as soon as I wanted it too/expected it to in order to move forward. (could this be after the 2 seconds window??? maybe, but it was not odd)

Nothing happened, HSA stayed engaged until the 2 seconds was up and then car rolled back (because I didn't release the clutch)

I released the clutch slow, car stalled without moving

Interesting note.....I tried my experiment before I went into the store. When I went to leave I

Put the clutch in.
Started the car
Put the car in first
Put my foot on the gas and at the same time released the hand brake and drove away without the HSA activating.

I really didn't think anything of it as that has been my procedure for years to pull out of any spot...Which may explain why I have rarely seen the HSA activate when parked on any incline.

I still have yet to see it activate on the road in a driving condition.....but 95% of my stop lights are on flat ground...only about 5% are on any incline.

I went through all of these frustrations as well, sent nasty notes to GM, etc. Having said that it CAN be made to work if you understand:

1. The system engages based on the last brake pressure used. So if you come to a fast stop or mash the brake pedal for any reason it will maintain that pressure and you WILL stall.

2. The "remembered" brake pressure can be reset by putting the trans in neutral, releasing clutch, reengaging clutch while using just enough brake pressure to hold the car.

So, get in the habit of stop - neutral - reduce brake pressure - put back in gear.

Now I can live with it but it should be DRIVER optional.

I thought that maybe coming to a stop with the trans in neutral was allowing me to avoid the HSA a little more. I haven't noticed it activating many times on me because I've been trying to approach stops and lights in neutral more often.

I've got 6,500 miles on the car and that is the best solution that I've been able to come up with.

Also, if you're really fast with your motions, and the incline isn't very steep, sitting in neutral with the clutch out you can remove your foot from the brake, then put in the clutch, shift into first and go.

The best solution would be an option to just turn the damn thing off.

My driveway has an odd incline and this feature makes it screwy to get in the garage.
I just wish I could turn it off.

Thanks Chris. They are building my car soon. I should just request they "leave this one out". :-)

Had HSA kick in for the first time yesterday. I took my car to a parking garage and tried to see if it would kick on. It did. I found it pretty helpful, HSA works fine in my 1LE, as I started moving forward it slowly let off the brake pressure and then shut off. Tried to see if it would kick on when on a downward slope and it didnt.

Wait til the 1st time you hit the brakes hard, then forget that HSA is on....stall!

btw, downward slope engages when in REVERSE.
