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.
Downhill brake control (DBC)
(if equipped)
The Downhill Brake Control  (DBC) helps
the driver descend steep hills and is acti-
vated at speeds less then 22 mph.
DBC defaults to  the OFF position when-
ever the ignition is turned on.
The  DBC  can  be  turned  on  or  off  by
pushing the button.

speeds

the
conditions
including

inclement
weather and on a slippery road.
Driving with varying tire or wheel
sizes may cause the VSM system
to  malfunction.  When  replacing
tires,   make  sure   they   are  the
same size as your original tires.
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  activate
when the ESC has malfunctioned.
