Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline.
HAC automatically activates whether ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT
activate when ESC has malfunctioned.
Quick Tip
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.
REMINDER: HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position.
With parking lights/headlights ON, press
A
(+) or (-) to adjust the brightness
of the instrument panel illumination.
