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 acceleration, manually activate
the trailer brake prior to releasing the
brake pedal. Always remember the driver
is responsible for braking the vehicle.

WARNING! (Continued)
• HSA is not a parking brake. Always apply
the parking brake fully when leaving your
vehicle. Also, be certain to leave the trans-
mission in PARK. Failure to follow these
warnings may cause the vehicle to roll
down the incline and could collide with
another vehicle, object or person, and
cause serious or fatal injury. Always re-
member to use the parking 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
(Continued)
Panel" for further information.
