Caution (Continued)
system parts. Make sure that the parking
brake is fully released and the brake
warning light is off before driving.
Automatic EPB Release
The EPB will automatically release if the
vehicle is running, placed into gear, and an
attempt is made to drive away. Avoid rapid
acceleration when the EPB is applied, to
preserve parking brake lining life.

Brake Assist

The Brake Assist feature is designed to assist
the driver in stopping or decreasing vehicle
speed in emergency driving conditions. This
feature uses the stability system hydraulic
brake control module to supplement the
power brake system under conditions where
the driver has quickly and forcefully applied
the brake pedal in an attempt to quickly
stop or slow down the vehicle. The stability
system hydraulic brake control module
increases brake pressure at each corner of
the vehicle until the ABS activates. Minor
brake pedal pulsation or pedal movement
during this time is normal and the driver
should continue to apply the brake pedal as
the driving situation dictates. The Brake
Assist feature will automatically disengage
when the brake pedal is released or brake
pedal pressure is quickly decreased.

Hill Start Assist (HSA)

The Hill Start Assist (HSA) feature will
activate when the vehicle is stopped on a
moderate to steep grade to help prevent it
from rolling in an unintended direction.
After the brake pedal has been released and
before the accelerator pedal has been
pressed, HSA uses braking pressure to hold
the vehicle stationary. If HSA is holding the
vehicle, a DIC message displays.
HSA will not activate in a forward drive gear
when facing downhill, or in R (Reverse)
when facing uphill.
Warning
Do not rely on the HSA feature. HSA does
not replace the need to pay attention
and drive safely.
You may not hear or feel alerts or
warnings provided by this system. Failure
to use proper care when driving may
result in injury, death, or vehicle damage.
See Defensive Driving 0 155.
Driving and Operating

Regenerative Braking

Regenerative braking takes some of the
energy from the moving vehicle and turns it
back into electrical energy. This energy is
then stored back into the high voltage
battery system, contributing to increased
energy efficiency.
The brake system uses regenerative braking,
conventional hydraulic braking, or a
combination of both as appropriate.
The brake controller applies the hydraulic
brakes using a pump. The pump may be
heard during some braking, such as rapid
applies. This is normal.
