proportion to amount of throttle applied as the
vehicle starts to move in the intended direction
of travel.
WARNING!
If the clutch pedal (manual transmission
only) remains pressed during the application
of the throttle, the HSA will disengage allow-
ing the vehicle to roll down the incline. This
could cause a collision with another vehicle
or object. To avoid this, do not apply throttle
while pressing the clutch pedal until you are
ready to release the clutch. Always remem-
ber the driver is responsible for braking the
vehicle.
HSA Activation Criteria
The following criteria must be met in order for
HSA to activate:
•
Vehicle must be stopped
•
Vehicle must be on an 8% or greater incline
(3% for manual transmission equipped
vehicles)
•
Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direc-
tion (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward
gear; vehicle backing uphill is in REVERSE
gear).
WARNING!
There may be situations on minor hills (i.e.,
less than 8%), with a loaded vehicle, or while
pulling a trailer where the system will not
activate and slight rolling may occur, which
could cause a collision with another vehicle
or object. Always remember the driver is
responsible for braking the vehicle.
The system will only work if the intended direc-
tion of the vehicle and vehicle gear match. For
example, if the intended direction is forward up
a hill and the vehicle is in DRIVE (automatic
transmission equipped vehicle), and the activa-
tion criteria are met, HSA will activate.
HSA On Automatic Transmission Vehicles
The system will work in REVERSE, and all
forward gears on vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission. The system will not
activate if the vehicle is placed in NEUTRAL.
HSA On Manual Transmission Vehicles
The system will work in REVERSE, forward
gears, and NEUTRAL on manual transmission
equipped vehicles. The system does not recog-
nize NEUTRAL on manual vehicles, thus it will
hold the vehicle on an incline for a short period
while in NEUTRAL, regardless of clutch posi-
tion. To prevent this, do not attempt to roll down
a hill simply by putting the transmission in
NEUTRAL and letting gravity act on the vehicle,
as the HSA will prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Instead, use the appropriate gear for moving in
the desired direction.
