Hill-start assist control


While hill-start assist control is operating, the brakes remain automatically
applied after the driver releases the brake pedal. The stop lights and the high
mounted stoplight turn on.

Hill-start assist control operates for about 2 seconds after the brake pedal is
released.

If the slip indicator does not flash and the buzzer does not sound when the brake
pedal is further depressed, slightly reduce the pressure on the brake pedal (do
not allow the vehicle to roll backward) and then firmly depress it again. If the
system still does not operate, check if the operating conditions explained above
have been met.
