Hi LL ST aRT aSS iST
Hill start assist helps keep your vehicle stationary
long enough to move your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal when your vehicle
is on a slope. The brakes release automatically
once the engine has developed sufficient drive to
prevent the vehicle from rolling down the slope.
To use:
1. Press and hold the brake pedal to bring your
vehicle to a complete standstill.
2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a
slope, the hill start assist feature will be
activated automatically. 3.
When you remove your foot from the brake
pedal, the vehicle will remain on the slope
without rolling away for approximately
two or three seconds. This hold time will
automatically be extended if you are in the
process of driving off.
4. Drive off in a normal manner. The brakes will
be released automatically.
Hi LL DESCE nT COnTROL

maintain stability and steer-ability of your vehicle
during a variety of road conditions. If your vehicle
becomes stuck in the snow, mud or sand, try

TRai LER SW aY COnTROL
Your vehicle is equipped with trailer sway control.
This control uses the vehicle’s AdvanceTrac with
RSC system to detect and help reduce trailer sway
by applying brake force at individual wheels and, if
necessary, reducing engine power. If this happens,
tRAILER SWAY REDUCE SPEED will appear
in the information display and the AdvanceTrac icon
will flash briefly. For more information, please
refer to your Owner’s Manual.
TRai LER BRaKE COnTROLLER*
The fully integrated trailer brake controller (TBC)
synchronizes vehicle and trailer brakes for seamless
braking (even with the heaviest loads) to provide
added driving control and confidence. Use the
GAIN adjustment buttons to increase or decrease
the braking feature’s power output to the trailer.
The GAIN setting is used to set the TBC for
specific towing conditions and should be changed
as towing conditions change. Changes to towing
conditions include trailer load, vehicle load, road
conditions and weather. After checking your trailer’s
brakes to make sure they are in good working order
and hooking up your trailer, you can adjust the
GAIN by:
1.
Pressing the GAIN + or GAIN - buttons to
increase or decrease the setting to the desired
starting point. A GAIN setting of 6.0 is a good
starting point for heavier loads.
2. Testing the adjusted GAIN setting again after
you’ve made adjustments. When testing:
a. In a traffic-free environment, tow the trailer
on a dry, level surface at a speed of 20-25
mph (30-40 km/h) and squeeze the manual
control lever completely.
b. If the trailer wheels lock up (the tires will
squeal), reduce the GAIN setting. If the
trailer wheels turn freely, increase the
GAIN setting.
c. The proper GAIN setting will be at the point
just below trailer wheel lock-up
Note: If towing a heavier trailer, trailer wheel lock-
up may not be attainable even with the maximum
GAIN setting of 10. ELECTROniC LOCK
