Hill hold control System
(if equipped)
The hill hold control system is designed to
assist you in starting to move up steep or slippery hills. When you start to move up a hill, the system helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling downward while you move your
foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator
pedal.
A. WARNING
• Do not rely excessively on the hill hold control system. The hill hold control system may not prevent the vehicle from rolling downward on a hill under all load or road condi­tions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from rolling downward. Failure to pay attention and
depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle on a hill when necessary,
may result in loss of control or an
accident.
• Do not use the hill hold control sys­tem to bring the vehicle to a stop on a hill.
The hill hold control system activates for a
maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is moved from the brake pedal when the fol­
lowing condition are all met. 1) The transfer switch is in a position other
than "N".
