Hill Launch Assist (HLA)

Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is a function
which assists the driver in accelerating
from a stop while on a slope. When the
driver releases the brake pedal and
depresses the accelerator pedal while on a
slope, the function prevents the vehicle
from rolling. The braking force is
maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) operates on a
downward slope when the selector lever is
in the reverse (R) position, and on an
upward slope when the selector lever is in
a forward gear.
WARNING
Do not rely completely on Hill Launch Assist
(HLA):
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary
device for accelerating from a stop on a
slope. The system only operates for about
two seconds and therefore, relying only on
the system, when accelerating from a stop
is dangerous because the vehicle may
move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an
accident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the
vehicle's load or if it is towing something.
Always confirm the safety around the
vehicle before starting to drive the vehicle.
NOTE
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not

operate on a gentle slope. In addition,
the gradient of the slope on which the
system will operate changes depending
on the vehicle's load.
