Driving your vehicle
ESC OFF usage
When driving
• It’s a good idea to keep the ESC
turned on for daily driving whenev-
er possible.
• To turn ESC off while driving, press
the ESC OFF button while driving
on a flat road surface.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) is
designed to prevent the vehicle from
rolling back by applying the brakes
automatically for about 2 seconds.
The brakes are released when the
accelerator pedal is depressed or
after about 2 seconds.
The HAC is activated only for about 2
seconds, so when the vehicle is
starting off always depress the accel-
erator pedal.
WARNING - Operating
ESC
Never press the ESC OFF but-
ton while ESC is operating.
If the ESC is turned off while
ESC is operating, the vehicle
may go out of control.
WARNING - Maintaining
Brake Pressure on Incline
HAC does not replace the need
to apply brakes while stopped on
an incline. While stopped, make
sure you maintain brake pres-
sure sufficient to prevent your
vehicle from rolling backward
and causing an accident. Don’t
release the brake pedal until you
are ready to accelerate forward.
CAUTION
• The HAC does not operate
when the transmission 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.
