Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

The ESC system is designed to help stabilize the vehicle during cornering 
maneuvers  It is a good idea to keep the ESC turned ON for daily driving 
whenever possible 

Press ESC button 

A

 to turn ESC OFF/ON 

REMINDERS: 

 

•

ESC is turned ON at vehicle start-up

 

•

 The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will be lit momentarily whenever the ESC 
is active

Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

HAC helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when accelerating from 
a stop while on a steep incline  The HAC automatically activates whether the 
ESC is OFF or ON, but does NOT activate when the ESC has malfunctioned 

REMINDER:

 

The HAC does not operate when the gear shift is in the P (Park) or the N (Neutral) position 

 

•

 

 

•

HAC provides a 2-second delay before the vehicle may start rolling backwards

 

•

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
