Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
(if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to slide
rearwards on a steep slope, before
depressing the accelerator after a
stop. The HAC prevents the vehicle
from sliding rearwards by automati-
cally operating the brake systems for
about 2 seconds. The brake systems
are automatically released, when the
accelerator pedal is depressed
Information
• The HAC does not operate when the
shift lever is in P (Park) or N
(Neutral)
• The HAC activates even when the
ESC (Electronic Stability Control) is
off. However, it does not activate,
when the ESC is not operationg nor-
mally.
Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
(if equipped)
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
supports the driver come down a
steep hill without depressing the
brake pedal.
It slows down the vehicle under 8
km/h (for automatic transmission/dual
clutch transmission) or 8 km/h (for
manual transmission vehicles) and
lets the driver concentrate on steer-
ing the vehicle.
• The DBC defaults to the OFF
position whenever the ignition
switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion.
• Noise or vibration may occur
from the brakes when the DBC is
activated.
• The rear stop light comes on
when DBC is activated.
