vehicle during cornering maneuvers It is a good
idea to keep the ESC turned on for daily driving
whenever possible

backwards when accelerating from a stop
while on a steep incline
The HAC automatically activates whether
the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate
when the ESC has malfunctioned
REMINDER: The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
• When HAC is active (e g , during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator
• HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards
