The hill start assist should release as soon as throttle input is detected.

There must be an inclinometer somewhere, disable that and the hill assist should be disabled, too.
Does the hill assist have own fuse somewhere? If it does, then you might just take the fuse out...
Oh well. I guess I must suffer this nonsense.Have to say hill start assist is just another attempt to compensate for shit drivers.Hey ho...............
Never had any issue with it on the Kia, have never stalled due to it and find it works consistently and is probably even more helpful with the autobox as it stops the car creeping forward as well as back.Having said that the ix20 and i40 versions were never quite as "good" as the i30FD (same issue with consistency as you guys are reporting), which was infinitely better than on the Scooby Impreza (the one I had applied the brake to one front wheel only and it just felt weird on a steep incline as one side of the car would slip a little and you got that metallic twang as the other side locked, which was then replicated when you applied the throttle and it released (this was in 2004 so was probably in it's infancy)), so perhaps the question is what has Hyundai done to the logic behind it that Kia haven't which is causing owners grief?I had to actually think about this as I was reading the thread as the Cee'd just gets on with it without me really noticing (hope that makes sense!).
The Cee'd is much less dusty than the ix20 or i40, the i40 in particular was horrific.
Personally I'd stick with the softer pads, discs will last longer as the steel quality used these days isn't what it used to be.EBC Greenstuff 2000 pads are very minimal dust but I'm not sure whether they cover the i30 yet
