Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent 
the vehicle from rolling backwards 
when starting a vehicle from a stop on 
a hill. The system operates the brakes 
automatically for approximately 5 
seconds and releases the brake after 5 
seconds or when the accelerator pedal is 
depressed.
 WARNING
Always be ready to depress the 
accelerator pedal when starting off 
an incline. Hill-Start Assist Control 
activates only for approximately 5 
seconds.
 Information
•  Hill-Start Assist Control does not 
operate when the gear is shifted to P 
(Park) or N (Neutral).
•  Hill-Start Assist Control activates even 
when the ESC (Electronic Stability 
Control) is off. However, it does not 
activate, when ESC does not operate 
normally.
