Does Hill-Holder work in reverse, going up hill?

I'm curious to hear from an experiencedowner in a hilly area -or someone who really knows the Hill-Holder technology.

I'm going to be occasionally parking on my steep driveway. To start up, I'd be reversing UP hill. Is the hill holder functional only going forward?

It does indeed work in forward and reverse. It will hold the brake for a second or two, then beeps at you when it's about to release the brake.

Good info guys. We too, on occasion, must back up a snowy hill.

Thanks. A2Jack.
