This feature makes it easier to pull away when the vehicle is on a slope

without the need to use the parking brake. When this feature is active,

the vehicle will remain stationary on the slope for two to three seconds

after you release the brake pedal. This allows you time to move your foot

from the brake to the accelerator pedal. The brakes are released

automatically once the engine has developed sufficient drive to prevent

the vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when

pulling away on a slope, (for example from a car park ramp, traffic lights

or when reversing uphill into a parking space).

This feature is activated automatically on any slope that can result in

significant vehicle rollback. This feature will not operate if the parking

brake is activated.

Using Hill Start Assist

Note: If the engine is revved excessively, hill start assist will be

deactivated.

1. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete standstill.

Keep the brake pedal pressed.

2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope, the hill start assist

feature will be activated automatically.

3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle will

remain on the slope without rolling away for approximately two or three

seconds. This hold time will automatically be extended if you are in the

process of driving off.

4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will be released

automatically.

Disabling and Enabling the Hill Start Assist Feature

Your vehicle comes with hill start assist already enabled. If desired, you

can disable the feature by following the procedure below.

The following procedure must be completed within 45 seconds or the

process will have to be repeated. Begin this procedure with the ignition

turned off. This procedure is for both disabling and enabling the hill start

assist system.

1. Apply the parking brake to make sure the vehicle is not moving.

2. Turn the ignition on.

3. Place the vehicle in neutral gear.
