Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC)

HAC is designed to 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.
•
•
HAC provides a two-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
