Hill Launch Assist (Hla) - Mazda 3 Smart Start Manual

Transmission
ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
AAS will automatically adjust how
and when the transmission shifts
gears based on road conditions
and your driving style.
The transmission may stay in a
lower gear longer than usual when
going up or down hills or driving
around corners. This feature gives
you better control and a more
connected driving experience.

HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)

HLA helps assist you when accelerating the vehicle from a stop while on
a hill or slope.
When the brake pedal is released and the accelerator pedal is pushed,
HLA prevents the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. It operates on
a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position, and on
an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position other than the reverse
(R) position.
NOTE:
The HLA system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
