HILL-START ASSIST CONTROL (HAC)*

HAC is designed to help prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline. HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward by keeping the brakes momentarily engaged even after you depress the accelerator.

HAC automatically activates whether the ESC is OFF or ON.

Quick Tips:

  • 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 — this is normal operation 
  • HAC provides a two-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backward

Reminders:

  • HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position 
  • HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline
