WHAT IS HILL START ASSIST

Hill Start Assist makes it easier for you to pull
away when your vehicle is on a slope without
using the parking brake.
HOW DOES HILL START ASSIST
WORK
When the system activates, your vehicle
remains stationary for a few seconds after
you release the brake pedal. This gives you
time to move your foot from the brake pedal
to the accelerator pedal. The brakes release
when the engine has developed sufficient
torque to prevent your vehicle from rolling
down the slope.

HILL START ASSIST PRECAUTIONS

WARNING: The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you leave
your vehicle, always apply the parking
brake.
