Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) (if equipped)
A vehicle has the tendency to roll back on a steep hill when it starts to go after stopping. The Hill-start Assist Control
(HAC) prevents the vehicle from rolling back by applying the brakes automatically for about 2 seconds.
The brakes are released when the accelerator pedal is engaged or after about 2 seconds.
The HAC is activated only for about 2 seconds, so when the vehicle is starting off always engaged the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
Maintaining Brake Pressure on Incline
HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes whilst stopped on an incline. Whilst stopped, make sure you maintain brake pressure sufficient to prevent your vehicle from rolling backward and causing an accident. Don't release the brake pedal until you are ready to accelerate forward.
