system toprevent thevehicle frommoving
backward onahill. Always drivecarefully
and attentively. Depressthebrake pedal
when thevehicle isstopped onasteep hill.
Be especially carefulwhenstopped onahill
on frozen ormuddy roads.Failure toprevent
the vehicle fromrolling backwards may
result inaloss ofcontrol ofthe vehicle and
possible seriousinjuryordeath.
. The hillstart assist system isnot designed to
hold thevehicle atastandstill onahill.
Depress thebrake pedalwhenthevehicle is
stopped onasteep hill.Failure todo somay
cause thevehicle toroll backwards andmay
result inacollision orserious personal
injury.
. The hillstart assist system maynotprevent
the vehicle fromrolling backwards onahill
under allload orroad conditions. Alwaysbe
prepared todepress thebrake pedalto

The vehicle isstopped completely onahill by
applying thebrake.
The maximum holdingtimeis2seconds. After2
