Hill Hill Start Assist (HSA) (where fitted)

  • Never rely solely on the Hill Start Assist (HSA) system to prevent the vehicle from moving backward on a hill. Always drive carefully and attentively. Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Be especially careful when stopped on a hill on frozen or muddy roads. Failure to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards may result in a loss of control of the vehicle and possible serious injury or death.

  • The Hill Start Assist system is not designed to hold the vehicle at a standstill on a hill. Depress the brake pedal when the vehicle is stopped on a steep hill. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to roll backwards and may result in a collision or serious personal injury.

  • The Hill Start Assist system may not prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. Failure to do so may result in a collision or serious personal injury.

The Hill Start Assist system automatically keeps the brakes applied to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards in the time it takes the driver to release the brake pedal and apply the accelerator when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.

The Hill Start Assist system will operate automatically under the following conditions:

  • The shift lever is shifted into a forward (vehicle facing uphill) or reverse gear (vehicle facing downhill).

  • The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the footbrake.

  • The slope is greater than 3 degrees.

The maximum holding time is 2 seconds. After 2 seconds the vehicle will begin to roll back and the Hill Start Assist system will stop operating completely.

The Hill Start Assist system will not operate when the shift lever is shifted to the N (Neutral) or P (Park) position or on a flat and level road.

When the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) OFF indicator light illuminates in the meter, the Hill Start Assist system will not operate. (See

.)

The Hill Start Assist function status can be checked in the [Chassis Control] mode in the Vehicle Information Display. If the [Chassis Control] screen is selected, the vehicle is displayed on a slope. The wheels flash to show that the car is being held.
