/ Traction Control System (TCS)

during certain cornering maneuvers. Traction Control System (TCS) can help
improve traction. It is a good idea to keep both ESC and TCS turned on
for daily driving whenever possible.

Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating from

malfunctioned.
REMINDERS:
§ HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position
§ HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is
stopped on an incline
§ In the event of HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized Kia
Dealer for service

a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes

while stopped on an incline
§ HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may
start rolling backwards
