    Hello,
    I have a 2021 4x4 Sport with the 6mt. I'm still trying to turn off the hill start control. Does anyone know for sure where the sensor is located that tells the system that the truck is on a 5 degree incline or more? From what I've read it needs to be at least 5 degrees to activate the hill start. My reasoning is if this sensor is mechanical and can be repositioned therefore telling the system that the truck is going down hill. The system will be deactivated. For my driving the system is never needed. It's just a nuisance and a bit unsafe when backing down a hill. You can't modulate the brake very well if the truck stays put when you take your foot off the brake. Thanks.
