How does the hill-start assist function work in the Kia Ceed?

I recently purchased a Kia Ceed and noticed it has a hill-start assist function. Can you explain how this feature works and if it's important to use it?

The hill-start assist function in the Kia Ceed is designed to help prevent the car from rolling backwards when starting on an incline. It uses sensors to detect when the car is on an incline and will hold the brakes for a few seconds after you release the brake pedal, giving you time to accelerate.

I highly recommend using the hill-start assist function in the Kia Ceed, especially if you live in a hilly area. It takes away the stress of trying to quickly switch from the brake to the accelerator, giving you more time to safely start and maneuver the car.
