Instrument Cluster Control
Toggle switch A up or down to adjust display brightness of the
instrument panel illumination .
REMINDER: The Instrument Cluster Control does not adjust brightness on the audio control unit screen . Use setup to adjust brightness on the audio control unit screen .

cornering maneuvers . It is a good idea to keep the ESC turned ON for
daily driving whenever possible .
Press ESC OFF button B to turn OFF .
REMINDERS:
•
ESC is active by default at vehicle startup . When ignition is cycled, ESC will turn ON again
•
The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will be lit momentarily whenever the ESC is active
For more information on Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and its specific features and operations, please refer to your Owner’s Manual.
Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)†7
HAC can help to 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 .
REMINDERS:
•
The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position
•HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline
• 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
