It has happened twice at stoplights and caused a slight delay in getting it back into 1st gear. I was in N both times while waiting. I only have 40 miles on the car!

 

No idea. I never saw it with my Vantage S. Did you check the manual and/or call the dealer?

 

It means that Hill Start Assist has been engaged.

 

Thanks V8Vantage. I wasn't really on a hill either time but that makes sense!

 

That's interesting. On mine, it does not engage for minor slopes. It has to be a fairly decent angle. If it came on when you were on a level surface, you may want to have it checked by the dealer.

 

Try doing a coupe of clutch learns with NOTHING else on, it seemed to make my hill assist work better

 

Thanks Mike! Will give it a shot.

However, I thought that clutch learns were not required with ASM2. From pistonheads FAQs:

Sportshift 2 (ASM2) - is a 7 speed updated version fitted to the Vantage S, there is no creep mode and no need to do "learns" it also has hill assist

 

I put that in the FAQ
It does start them automatically when you first start the car (N light flashes whilst doing it)
BUT as with ASM1 it seems to work better if you make sure nothing else electrical is on and you do a couple in a row when you first get it.

 

Cool. Will try it out the next time.

 

It does do an auto clutch learn while the light is flashing, but some drivers avoid this and take off..the car with void the learn and allow u to start rolling...which screws up the clutch learn

Yes H is hill assist, if u are experiencing this often then the vehicle will need to be calibrated by the dealer on a level surface like an alignment machine or levelled 4-post with no weight in the car

 

Is there anything that our Irish guru doesn't know?

 

Yah, my wife...can't figure that woman out! ;-)

 

^^^ Lol...
