er possible.
To turn ESC off while driving, press the ESC OFF button while driving
on a flat road surface.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
The Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) is
designed to prevent the vehicle from
rolling back by applying the brakes
automatically for about 2 seconds.
The brakes are released when the
accelerator pedal is depressed or
after about 2 seconds.
The HAC is activated only for about 2
seconds, so when the vehicle is
starting off always depress the accel-
erator pedal.
WARNING- Operating
ESC
Never press the ESC OFF but-
ton while ESC is operating.
If the ESC is turned off while
ESC is operating, the vehicle
may go out of control.
WARNING- Maintaining
Brake Pressure on Incline
HAC does not replace the need
to apply brakes while stopped on
an incline. While stopped, make
sure you maintain brake pres-
sure sufficient to prevent your
vehicle from rolling backward
and causing an accident. Don’t
release the brake pedal until you
are ready to accelerate forward.
CAUTION
The HAC does not operate when the transmission shiftlever is in the P (Park) or N(Neutral) position.
The HAC activates even though the ESC is off but itdoes not activate when theESC has malfunctioned.

den situations from occur-
ring. FCA does not stop the
vehicle completely and does
not avoid all collisions due to
