Operating the Vehicle
Hill Start Assist system
Do not rely exclusively on the Hill Start
Assist system to keep your vehicle
stationary on a hill. Always use the pedal-operated brakes to
prevent the vehicle from rolling backward. Failure to do so
could result in a collision or property damage.
The Hill Start Assist system may not
prevent the vehicle from rolling under
certain conditions (e.g. slippery roads, unpaved roads,
steeply-graded slopes, or carrying heavy loads). Always be
prepared to use the brakes to hold the vehicle on a hill.
The Hill Start Assist system is designed to reduce the vehicle
rolling downhill when accelerating from a stop.
The Hill Start Assist system is designed to reduce rollback in
the time it takes the driver to release the brake pedal and apply
the accelerator when the vehicle is stopped on a hill. The
amount of rollback is dependent on vehicle load and grade of
slope the vehicle is on. Hill Start Assist is not intended to
prevent rollback for more than 2 seconds.
Hill Start Assist will operate automatically when the brake
pedal is released under the following conditions:

The Drive Mode Selector is set to D (Drive) with the vehicle
pointing uphill. See “Drive Mode Selector”, page 4-7 .
 The Drive Mode Selector is set to R (Reverse) with the
vehicle pointing downhill.
Regenerative Braking
Regenerative braking does not replace the
need to use the brake pedal to stop the
vehicle.
Note: Because regenerative braking does not activate the brake
light, vehicles behind you will not be alerted that you are slowing.
Whenever your vehicle is moving and your foot is off the
accelerator, regenerative braking slows the vehicle and feeds
energy back to the vehicle’s battery. At very high state of
charge, regenerative braking will be limited or turned off.
By anticipating your stops and removing your foot from the
accelerator to slow down, you can take advantage of the energy
gained from regenerative braking to increase your vehicle’s
range.
The current amount of energy gain can be viewed on the
Power/Regen gauge on the instrument cluster display. See
“Power/Regen gauge”, page 4-13 .
