Driving your vehicle

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards
when starting a vehicle from a stop on
a hill. The system operates the brakes
automatically for approximately 2
seconds and releases the brake after 2
seconds or when the accelerator pedal is
depressed.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting off
an incline. The HAC activates only for
approximately 2 seconds.
Information
The HAC does not operate when
the gear is shifted to P (Park) or N
(Neutral).
The HAC activates even when the ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is off.
However, it does not activate, when
ESC does not operate normally.

Downhill Brake Control (DBC)

The Downhill Brake Control (DBC) feature
assists the driver to descend down a
steep hill without having to depress the
brake pedal. The system automatically
applies the brakes to maintain the
vehicle speed below 5 mph (8 km/h)
and allows the driver to concentrate on
steering the vehicle down hill.
WARNING
Always turn off the DBC on normal
roads. The DBC might activate
inadvertently from the standby mode
when driving through speed bumps or
making sharp curves.
NOTICE
The DBC defaults to the OFF position
whenever the Engine Start/Stop
button is placed in the ON position.
Noise or vibration may occur
from the brakes when the DBC is
activated.
The rear stop light comes on when
DBC is activated.
