Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating from
a stop while on a steep incline.
HAC automatically activates whether ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT activate when ESC has
malfunctioned.
§ 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
§ HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start
rolling backwards
