Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

REMINDERS:

• In the event of an HAC system malfunction, see an authorized Kia dealer for service
• HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on
an incline
• When HAC is active (e.g., accelerating from a stop on an incline), you may
notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the
accelerator. This is normal HAC operation
• HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward
