Feedback To The Driver:
The instrument cluster has an HDC icon and the
HDC button has an LED which offers feedback to
the driver about the state HDC is in.
The cluster icon and switch lamp will illuminate

and remain solid when HDC is enabled or acti-
vated. This is the normal operating condition for
HDC.
The switch lamp will flash for several seconds

then extinguish when the driver pushes the HDC
switch when enable conditions have not been
met.
The HDC switch is located in the center console
below the gear selector knob.
WARNING!
HDC is only intended to assist the driver in
controlling vehicle speed when descending hills.
The driver must remain attentive to the driving
conditions and is responsible for maintaining a
safe vehicle speed.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
HSA is designed to mitigate roll back from a
complete stop while on an incline. If the driver
releases the brake while stopped on an incline,
HSA will continue to hold the brake pressure for a
short period. If the driver does not apply the
throttle before this time expires, the system will
release brake pressure and the vehicle will roll
down the hill as normal.
The following conditions must be met in order for
HSA to activate:
The feature must be enabled.

The vehicle must be stopped.

The parking brake must be off.

The driver's door must be closed.

The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade.

The gear selection must match vehicle uphill

direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward
gear; vehicle backing uphill is in REVERSE gear).
SAFETY
HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all forward

gears. The system will not activate if the trans-
mission is in PARK or NEUTRAL. For vehicles
equipped with a manual transmission, if the
clutch is pressed, HSA will remain active.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill Start
Assist (HSA) will not activate and slight rolling
may occur, such as on minor hills or with a
loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer. HSA is
not a substitute for active driving involvement. It
is always the driver's responsibility to be
attentive to distance to other vehicles, people,
and objects, and most importantly brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision or
serious personal injury.
