Traction Control System (TCS)
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) helps prevent the vehicle from rolling
backwards when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline.
HAC automatically activates whether ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT
activate when ESC has malfunctioned.
Quick Tip
When HAC is active (e.g., during initial acceleration from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator.
REMINDER: HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in P (Park) or N (Neutral) position.
With parking lights/headlights ON, press A (+) or (-) to adjust the brightness
of the instrument panel illumination.

steering, trying to prevent the vehicle from moving outside
its lane.
LK A is the operating mode by default when the button is
depressed to ON if the User Setting mode is set to LK A.
LK A will switch to LDW mode if activation requirements
are not met.
All systems will operate under the following conditions:
§ The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 40 mph
§ The LK A system recognizes both lane markers the
vehicle is traveling in
§ The vehicle is between the lane markers
REMINDERS:
-
The LK A /LDW will not issue a warning if the turn signal is activated
-
LK A /LDW will return to its previous state when the ignition is cycled
- The LK A /LDW are not substitutes for safe and proper driving. Always drive safely and use caution.
- LK A /LDW may not always alert the driver if the vehicle is driven outside of its lane. Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more information.
When the LK A /LDW sensor detects the lane traveling in, both lanes are illuminatedWhen the LK A /LDW sensor does not detect the lane traveling in the lanes are not illuminated
