HSA On Manual Transmission Vehicles
The system will work in REVERSE, forward
gears, and NEUTRAL on manual transmission
equipped vehicles. The system does not rec-
ognize NEUTRAL on manual vehicles, thus it
will hold the vehicle on an incline for a short
period while in NEUTRAL, regardless of clutch
position. To prevent this, do not attempt to roll
down a hill simply by putting the transmission in
NEUTRAL and letting gravity act on the vehicle,
as the HSA will prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Instead, use the appropriate gear for moving in
the desired direction.
Towing With HSA
HSA will provide assistance when starting on a
grade when pulling a trailer.
WARNING!
• If you use a trailer brake controller with your
trailer, your trailer brakes may be activated
and deactivated with the brake switch. If so,
when the brake pedal is released there
may not be enough brake pressure to hold
the vehicle and trailer on a hill and this
could cause a collision with another vehicle
or object behind you. In order to avoid
rolling down the hill while resuming accel-
eration, manually activate the trailer brake
prior to releasing the brake pedal. Always
remember the driver is responsible for
braking the vehicle.
• HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the
vehicle on a hill without putting the trans-
mission in PARK and using the parking
brake, it will roll down the hill and could
cause a collision with another vehicle or
object. Always remember to use the park-
ing brake while parking on a hill, and that
the driver is responsible for braking the
vehicle.
NOTE:
The HSA system may also be turned on and
off if the vehicle is equipped with the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). Re-
fer to Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) in "Understanding Your Instrument
Panel" for further information.
HSA Off
If you wish to turn off the HSA system, follow
this procedure:
1. Start with the engine off and vehicle in PARK
(automatic transmission) or NEUTRAL with
clutch out (manual transmission) with wheels
straight. Apply parking brake on manual trans-
mission vehicle.
2. Start the engine.
3. With the engine running, the brake applied,
and the clutch out, rotate the steering wheel
180° counterclockwise from center.
4. Press the ESC OFF switch four times within
twenty seconds.
5. Rotate the steering wheel 360° clockwise
(180° clockwise from center).
