Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
The ESC system is designed to help stabilize the vehicle during
cornering maneuvers. It is a good idea to keep the ESC turned on for
daily driving whenever possible.
Press ESC button
A
to turn Traction Control OFF/ON.
To turn OFF both the Traction Control and Stability Control, press and
hold for more than 3 seconds. Press again to turn ON.
When HAC is active (e.g., during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice
that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator.
Blind Spot Detection (BSD) System*
The system uses radar sensors to help alert the driver while changing
lanes. The BSD indicator on the button
B
will illuminate when turned ON.
The system will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than
9 mph and will alert the driver if another vehicle is detected by the radar
sensor.
1st-stage alert: When another vehicle is detected within the BSD System
boundary, a yellow light will illuminate on the outside rearview mirrors.
2nd-stage alert: When 1st stage alert is on and a turn signal is turned on,
an alarm will sound.

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline.
The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDER: The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position.
For more information on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and it’s specific features
and operations, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.
REMINDER: ESC is turned ON at vehicle start-up.
REMINDER: The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will be lit momentarily
whenever the ESC is active.
