Hill start assist system precautions

Do not overly rely on the hill start assist system. The hill start assist system
may not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered with ice.
●
Unlike the parking brake, the hill start assist system is not intended to hold
the vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use
the hill start assist system to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so
may lead to an accident.
●
Do not stop the engine while the hill start assist system is operating, as the
hill start assist system will stop operating, possibly leading to an accident.
