The M.Y. Series was the first to receive the hill holder (or AKA Hill Start Assist) and continued all the way through the manual range of the Subarus.
Is your car fitted with a cable or hydraulic clutch?
What year/model is your Liberty?

Hill Holders are painful if not setup or correctly adjusted, so most people disconnect them. Personally I like them but they require adjustment at every service.
Please refer to the service manual for correct adjustment

The Foz (and later models ) have a hydraulic clutch so very little adjustment is required but still needs to be checked at each service. On cable systems like the Liberty (and earlier models) the clutch fork moves (as the clutch wears out) and makes the hill holder cable looser, which in turn, makes the brakes hold on for much longer than needed. It's tricky to setup correctly and really needs to be adjusted just right.NachaLuva wrote:Why? Whats wrong with them? I've never adjusted mine...yet lol
