Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
The HLA prevents the vehicle from
rolling backward or forward, such as
when releasing the brake pedal while
on a slope.
NOTE
The HLA may not operate on a gentle
slope or depending on the vehicle’s
load.
The HLA does not operate if the
parking brake is applied or the
vehicle has not stopped completely.
When the TCS/DSC operation
indicator light
turns on, the HLA
may not operate.
The HLA does not turn off even if the
TCS is turned off.
Warning and Cautions for
Using the Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
WARNING
Do not rely completely on the HLA.
The HLA is designed only to assist the
driver in accelerating from a stop on a
slope. The HLA only operates for about
2 seconds and therefore, if the
accelerator and brake pedals are not
operated correctly the vehicle may
move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an
accident. Always confirm the safety
around the vehicle before starting to
drive the vehicle. Note that the vehicle
may move suddenly depending on the
vehicle’s load or if it is towing
something.

CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the
inflation pressure recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has
tires of a different size than the size
indicated on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale when one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale
illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and
stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's
responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped
with a TPMS malfunction indicator to
indicate when the system is not
operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated.
This sequence will continue upon
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long
as the malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect
or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent
the TPMS from functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the
TPMS to continue to function
properly.
 To avoid false readings, the system
samples for a little while before
indicating a problem. As a result it
will not instantaneously register a
rapid tire deflation or blow out.
