Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)
HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when accelerating from a
stop while on a steep incline.
The HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON but does NOT
activate when the ESC has malfunctioned.
REMINDER: The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position.

•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 •HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward
QUICK TIPS
Forward Collision Warning System (FCWS)*
The FCWS helps to alert the
driver when rapidly approaching
a vehicle that is slowing down,
braking or stopped. A warning
message will appear on the LCD
screen and a chime will sound.
The FCWS will become active when the vehicle is traveling more than 25 mph.
