Hill-start assist control (HAC)
(if equipped)
Hill start Assist Control is a comfort
function. The main intend is to pre-
vent the vehicle from rolling back-
wards whilst driving off uphill on an
inclined surface. HAC holds the brak-
ing pressure builtup by driver during
stopping procedure for 2 seconds
after releasing brake pedal.
During the pressure-hold period, the
driver has enough time to press the
accelerator pedal to drive off.
The braking pressure is reduced as
soon as the system detects the dri-
ver’s intention to drive off.
✽✽
NOTICE
• The HAC does not operate when
the transaxle shift lever is in the P
(Park) or N (Neutral) position.
• The HAC activates even though
the ESC is off but it does not acti-
vate when the ESC has malfunc-
tioned.
Vehicle stability management
(VSM) (if equipped)
This system provides further
enhancements to vehicle stability
and steering responses when a vehi-
cle is driving on a slippery road or a
vehicle detected changes in coeffi-
cient of friction between right wheels
and left wheels when braking.
WARNING
The HAC is usually activated
only for 2 seconds. The driver
should be careful from the
rolling backward causing the
accident with behind objects or
human, when the driver may
feel the unintended rolling
backward whilst driving off on
hill due to insufficient brake
hold pressure built-up by driver
during stopping procedure.
