Driving your vehicle
Hill-start assist control (HAC)
(if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to slip
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from slipping back by operat-
ing the brakes automatically for
about 1~2 seconds. The brakes are
released when the accelerator pedal
is depressed or after about 1~2 sec-
onds.
✽✽
NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though the
ESC is off but it does not activate
when the ESC has malfunctioned.
Good braking practices
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for
about 1~2 seconds, so when the
vehicle is starting off always
depress the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
• Whenever you leave or park
your vehicle, always set the
parking brake as far as possi-
ble and fully engage the vehi-
cle's transaxle into the P
(Park) position. If the parking
brake is not fully engaged, the
vehicle may move inadver-
tently and injure yourself and
others.
• All vehicles should always
have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the vehicle which can injure
occupants or pedestrians.
