Driving and Operating 8-41

Hill Start Assist (HSA)

This vehicle has a Hill Start Assist

(HSA) feature, which may be useful

when the vehicle is stopped on a

grade. This feature is designed to

prevent the vehicle from rolling,

either forward or rearward, during

vehicle drive off. After driver

completely stops and holds the

vehicle in a complete standstill on a

grade, HSA will be automatically

activated. During the transition

period between when the driver

releases the brake pedal and starts

to accelerate to drive off on a grade,

HSA holds the braking pressure to

ensure that there is no rolling back.

The brakes will automatically

release when the accelerator pedal

is applied within the two second

window. It will not activate if the

vehicle is in a drive gear and facing

downhill or if the vehicle is facing

uphill and in R (Reverse).

Ride Control Systems

Traction Control

System (TCS)

The vehicle has a Traction Control

System (TCS) that limits wheel spin.

On a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the

system operates if it senses that

one or both of the front wheels are

spinning or beginning to lose

traction. On an All-Wheel-Drive

(AWD) vehicle, the system will

operate if it senses that any of the

wheels are spinning or beginning to

lose traction. When this happens,

the system brakes the spinning

wheel(s) and/or reduces engine

power to limit wheel spin.

The system may be heard or felt

while it is working, but this is

normal.

The TCS/StabiliTrak warning light

will flash to indicate that the traction

control system is active.

This warning light comes on if there

is a problem with TCS, and the

system will not limit wheel spin.

Adjust your driving accordingly.
