1 This indicator light turns on to remind you that the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner will not deploy during a collision. The reason for
this is that the sensor has determined that an adult is not sitting in the front passenger seat.
NOTE: If a smaller adult sits on the front passenger seat, the sensors might detect the adult as being
a child depending on the person’s physique and may deactivate the front passenger’s front/side
airbags and seat belt pretensioner. Always wear your seat belt and secure children in the rear seats in
appropriate child restraints. See the Owner’s Manual for important information on this safety feature.

NOTE: The HL A system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds
while the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)
HL A helps assist you when accelerating the vehicle from a stop while on
a hill or slope.
When the brake pedal is released and the accelerator pedal is pushed,
HL A prevents the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. It operates on
a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) position, and on
an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position other than the reverse
(R) position.
Transmission
ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL
AAS will automatically adjust how
and when the transmission shifts
gears based on road conditions
and your driving style.
The transmission may stay in a
lower gear longer than usual when
going up or down hills or driving
around corners. This feature gives
you better control and a more
connected driving experience.
