Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
The HLA prevents the vehicle from
rolling backward or forward, such as
when releasing the brake pedal while
on a slope.
NOTE
The HLA may not operate on a gentle
slope or depending on the vehicle’s
load.
The HLA does not operate if the
parking brake is applied or the
vehicle has not stopped completely.
When the TCS/DSC operation
indicator light
turns on, the HLA
may not operate.
The HLA does not turn
off
even if the
TCS/DSC is turned off.
Warning and Cautions for
Using the Hill Launch
Assist (HLA)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the HLA.
The HLA is designed only to assist the
driver in accelerating from a stop on a
slope. The HLA only operates for about
2 seconds and therefore, if the
accelerator and brake pedals are not
operated correctly the vehicle may
move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an
accident. Always
confirm
the safety
around the vehicle before starting to
drive the vehicle. Note that the vehicle
may move suddenly depending on the
vehicle’s load or if it is towing
something. In addition, for vehicles
with a manual transmission, the
vehicle could still roll depending on
how the clutch pedal or the accelerator
pedal is operated.
