Electronic Stability Control (ESC)*

The ESC system is designed to help stabilize the vehicle during certain
cornering maneuvers. It is a good idea to keep the ESC turned on for
daily driving whenever possible.

to disable Traction Control in ESC (a “Traction
Control Disabled” message appears).
To turn OFF both the Traction Control and Stability Control, press and
hold for more than 3 seconds. Press again to turn ON.
REMINDERS:
• ESC is active by default at vehicle start-up. When ignition is cycled, ESC will turn ON again
• The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will illuminate whenever the ESC is in
operation
For more information on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and its specific features and
operations, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)*
†8
HAC is designed to 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. HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while stopped on an incline.
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.
