Home/2027 Telluride Hybrid/Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)

Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)*

Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) is designed to prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when accelerating from a stop while on a steep incline.

HAC automatically activates whether ESC is off or on.

Quick Tips:

When HAC is active (e.g., accelerating from a stop on an incline), you may notice that the brakes will momentarily remain engaged after you depress the accelerator. This is normal HAC operation
HAC provides a 2-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.
In the event of HAC system malfunction, see an Authorized Kia Dealer for service
HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while the vehicle is stopped on an incline
