Hill-Start Assist Control (Hac) - Kia Sorento Owner's Manual

CAUTION
The Emergency Stop Signal sys-
tem will not work if the hazard
warning flasher is already on.

Hill-start assist control (HAC)

(if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to slip
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from slipping back by operat-
ing the brakes automatically for
about 2 seconds. The brakes are
released when the accelerator pedal
is depressed or after about 2 sec-
onds.
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for
about 2 seconds, so when the
vehicle is starting off always
depress the accelerator pedal.
Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽ NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though
the ESC is off but it does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
