Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent
the vehicle from rolling backwards
when starting a vehicle from a stop on
a hill. The system operates the brakes
automatically for approximately 2
seconds (maximum of 5 secondswhen
the accelerator pedal is slightly
depressed during HAC operation) and
releases the brake after 2 seconds or
when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting off
an incline. Hill-Start Assist Control
activates only for approximately 2
seconds (maximum of 5 seconds
when the accelerator pedal is slightly
depressed during HAC operation).
Information
[ Hill-Start Assist Control does not
operate when the gear is shifted to P
(Park) or N (Neutral).
[ Hill-Start Assist Control activates even
when the ESC (Electronic Stability
Control) is off. However, it does not
activate, when ESC does not operate
normally.
Brake Assistant System (BAS)
The Brake Assistant System provides
additional pressure when the brake pedal
is momentarily and strongly depressed
in a situation sudden braking is required
while driving.
The Brake Assistant System reduces the
time for ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System)
control to enter and consequently
reduces the braking distance, by
providing additional pressure up to the
point of ABS intervention.
BAS operation
[ When the vehicle speed is more than
19 mph (30 km/h) and the ABS control
is not entered.
[ When the brake pedal is depressed
strongly over a certain level.
[ When the friction of the road surface
is above a certain level.
BAS operation off
[ The vehicle speed is below 6 mph (10
km/h).
[ The brake pedal is depressed lightly or
firmly over a certain condition.
[ The friction of the road surface is
below a certain level.
WARNING
The system may not operate depending
on driver's driving habit, the degree to
which the brake pedal is depressed and
the road surface condition.
