The ESC system is designed to help stabilize the
vehicle during cornering maneuvers It is a good
idea to keep the ESC turned on for daily driving
whenever possible

REMINDER: ESC is turned ON at vehicle start-up
REMINDER: The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument
cluster will be lit momentarily whenever the ESC is
active

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when accelerating from a stop
while on a steep incline
The HAC automatically activates whether
the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate
when the ESC has malfunctioned
REMINDER: The HAC does not operate when the gear shift
is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
QUICK TIPS
• When HAC is active (e g , during initial
acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may
notice that the brakes will momentarily remain
engaged after you depress the accelerator
• HAC provides a 2-second delay before the
vehicle may start rolling backwards
ALWAYS CHECK THE OWNER'S MANUAL FOR COMPLETE OPERATING INFORMATION AND SAFETY WARNINGS.
