Hill-start assist control

Hill-start assist control helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling

backwards when starting on an incline or slippery slope.

Hill-start assist control operating conditions

The system operates in the following situations:

• The shift position is in a position other than P.

• The parking brake is not applied.

• The accelerator pedal is not depressed.

Hill-start assist control cannot be operated while the slip indicator light is

illuminated.

While hill-start assist control is operating, the brakes remain automati-

cally 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 operat-

ing conditions explained above have been met.

trol, further depress the brake

pedal when the vehicle is

vated. The slip indicator will

also start flashing.
