For a newb this method is going to be tough. I'd think for most the handbrake method is easier to understand and apply.

My daughter's Mini has hill assist which I think is just cheating.

man I'd love hill assist! I think the hardest part will be in stop and go traffic going up hill.

Mordeeb, like someone mentioned already,

If you use the parking brake (while pressing the button at the same time..!), the P brake will hold the car on the hill while you start moving forward with the clutch.

Using the p brake it's actually much simpler that sounds and will give you a piece of mind knowing that the car will Not roll backwards.

Good luck!

If you use the parking brake on the steep hills (while pressing the button at the same time..!), the P brake will hold the car on the hill while you start moving forward with the clutch.
