Driving your vehicle
Hill-start assist control (HAC)
(if equipped)
WARNING
•
The Vehicle Stability Management
system is not a substitute for
safe driving practices but a sup-
plementary function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and the
distance to the vehicle ahead.
Always hold the steering wheel
firmly while driving.
A vehicle has the tendency to slip back
on a steep hill when the driver begins to
accelerate after a stop. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the vehi-
cle from slipping back by operating the
brakes automatically for about 2 sec-
onds. The brakes are released when the
accelerator pedal is depressed or after
about 2 seconds.

Your vehicle is designed to acti-
vate according to the driver’s
intention, even with installed
VSM. Always follow all the normal
precautions for driving at safe
OLM059021L
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for about
seconds, so always depress the
accelerator pedal to begin acceler-
ating after a stop.

the driver descend steep hills and is acti-
vated at speeds less then 22 mph.
