Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-Start Assist Control helps prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards when
starting from a stop on a hill.
Always be ready to depress the
accelerator pedal when starting from a
stop on an uphill slope. Hill-Start Assist
Control activates only for about 2
seconds.
• 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. It does not activate, if the
ESC is not operating normally.
Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
2C_DownhillBrakeControl
Downhill Brake Control assists when
descending down a steep hill without
having to depress the brake pedal.
The system automatically applies the
brakes to maintain vehicle speed below a
certain speed and allows the driver to
concentrate on steering the vehicle down
hill.
The system is turned off whenever the
engine is turned off.
Press the button to turn on the system
and press the button again to turn it off.
