Driving your vehicle

Hill-start assist control (HAC)

(if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to roll
back on a steep hill when the driver
begins to accelerate after a stop. The
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) pre-
vents the vehicle from rolling back by
operating the brakes automatically
for about 1.5 seconds. The brakes
are released when the accelerator
pedal is depressed or after about 1.5
seconds.
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for
about 1.5 seconds, so always
depress the accelerator pedal to
begin accelerating after a stop.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though
the ESC is off but it does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
