on a flat road surface.

system is only a driving aid; use
precautions for safe driving by
slowing down on curved,
snowy, or icy roads. Drive slow-
ly and don’t attempt to acceler-
ate whenever the ESC indicator
light is blinking, or when the
road surface is slippery.

Hill-start assist control (HAC) (if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to slip
back on a steep hill when it starts to
go after stopping. The Hill-start
Assist Control (HAC) prevents the
vehicle from slipping back by operat-
ing the brakes automatically for
about 1~2 seconds. The brakes are
released when the accelerator pedalis depressed or after about 1~2 sec-
onds.✽✽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. Good braking practices
WARNING
The HAC is activated only for
about 1~2 seconds, so when the
vehicle is starting off alwaysdepress the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
Whenever you leave or park your vehicle, always set the parking brake as far as possi-
ble and fully engage the vehi-
cle's transaxle into the P
(Park) position. If the parking
brake is not fully engaged, the
vehicle may move inadver-
tently and injure yourself and
others.
All vehicles should always have the parking brake fully
engaged when parking to
avoid inadvertent movement
of the vehicle which can injureoccupants or pedestrians.

driver while driving.
It senses the rear side territory of the
vehicle and provides information to
the driver. ➀
