Be sure to adapt your speed and driving
to the prevailing road conditions.
NOTES:
Whenever the ignition device is turned
to the RUN position, the warning light
and the warning light momentarily
illuminate.
Each time the ignition device is set to
the RUN position, the ESC system will
be on even if it was turned off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive following the maneuver
that caused the ESC activation.
The
warning light indicates that
the customer has elected to have the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in a
reduced mode.
HSA (Hill Start Assist) SYSTEM
The HSA system is designed to mitigate
roll back from a complete stop while on
an incline. If the driver releases the
brake while stopped on an incline, HSA
will continue to hold the brake pressure
for a short period. If the driver does
not apply the throttle before this time
expires, the system will release brake
pressure and the vehicle will start rolling
down the hill as normal.
The following criteria must be met in
order for HSA to activate:
The feature must be enabled.
Vehicle must be stopped.
Park brake must be off.
Driver door must be closed.
The vehicle must be on a sufficient
grade.
The gear selection must match vehicle
uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing
uphill is in forward gear; vehicle backing
uphill is in reverse gear).
HSA will work in reverse gear and
all forward gears. The system will not
activate if the transmission is in P (Park)
position (for versions with dual clutch
automatic transmission) or in neutral.
For vehicles equipped with a manual
transmission, if the clutch is pressed,
HSA will remain active.

Towing With HSA enabled
HSA will also provide assistance to
mitigate roll back while towing a trailer.

Disabling And Enabling HSA
This system can enabled or disabled. To
change the current setting, proceed as
follows:
Refer to the "Settings" paragraph
in the "Multimedia" section for more
information on the HSA system
deactivation via Uconnect™ .
RBS (Rain Brake Support) SYSTEM
The Rain Brake Support (RBS) may
improve braking performance in wet
conditions. It will periodically apply
a small amount of brake pressure to
remove any water buildup on the front
brake rotors. It functions when the
windshield wipers are in LOW or HIGH
speed. When Rain Brake Support is
active, there is no notification to the
driver and no driver interaction is
required.
RAB (Ready Alert Braking) SYSTEM
It is a system that is activated
automatically if the accelerator is
released quickly, with the aim of
preparing the braking system by making
the response time quicker, thereby
reducing stopping distances in the event
of subsequent emergency braking.
TSC (Trailer Sway Control) SYSTEM
TSC uses sensors in the vehicle to
recognize an excessively swaying trailer
and will take the appropriate actions to
attempt to stop the sway. TSC activates
automatically once the excessively
swaying trailer is recognized.
NOTE TSC cannot stop all trailers from
swaying. Always use caution when
towing a trailer and follow the trailer
tongue weight recommendations. Refer
to the “Trailer Towing” chapter in the
“Starting and Driving” section for further
information.
When the TSC system is functioning, the
warning light will flash, the engine
power will be reduced, and you will feel
the brake being applied to individual
