Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling 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 – this is normal HAC operation •HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards
