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
QUICK TIP
Smart Blind Spot Detection System (SBSD)*
The Smart Blind Spot Detection System (SBSD) uses a camera on the upper front windshield
and radar sensors for the side and rear areas The SBSD may activate the ESC when
detecting an approaching vehicle while changing lanes to help prevent a possible collision
The SBSD is activated when SBSD is in ON position and with the following conditions:
• Vehicle speed is above approximately 40 mph
• The system detects both of the lane lines
• An approaching vehicle is detected next to and/or behind the vehicle
When an approaching vehicle is detected within sensor areas next to or behind the vehicle,
the SBSD may apply the brakes The instrument cluster indicator will illuminate
to inform the driver of the system activation
The Smart Blind Spot Detection
System may apply braking power,
when an approaching vehicle is
detected within a certain distance
next to/behind your vehicle
For more information on when the SBSD automatically deactivates, see your Owner’s Manual.
