Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

HAC can help prevent the vehicle from rolling backward, for two seconds,
when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline.
HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT
activate when the ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:
• HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
• In the event of 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
• HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling
backward
