NOTE:
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indi
-
cator Light” and the “ESC OFF Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time
the ignition is cycled to the ON/RUN
mode.
Each time the ignition is turned on, 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 “ESC OFF Indicator Light”
indicates the customer has elected
to have the Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) in a reduced mode.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
The Hill Start Assist (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 pres
-
sure and the vehicle will roll down the hill as
normal.
The following conditions must be met in
order for HSA to activate:
The feature must be enabled.
The vehicle must be stopped.
The park brake must be off.
The driver door must be closed. (If the
doors are attached, then the door must be
closed. If the doors are detached, then the
driver's seatbelt must be buckled).
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 PARK or
NEUTRAL. For vehicles equipped with a
manual transmission, if the clutch is
pressed, HSA will remain active.
Disabling And Enabling HSA
This feature can be turned on or turned off.
To change the current setting, refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.
Towing With HSA
HSA will also provide assistance to mitigate
roll back while towing a trailer.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill
Start Assist (HSA) will not activate and
slight rolling may occur, such as on minor
hills or with a loaded vehicle, or while
pulling a trailer. HSA is not a substitute for
active driving involvement. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to be attentive to
distance to other vehicles, people, and
objects, and most importantly brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the
vehicle under all road conditions. Your
complete attention is always required
while driving to maintain safe control of
your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
