HILL START ASSIST (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: The hill start assist feature does not replace the

parking brake. When you leave the vehicle, always apply the

parking brake and shift the transmission into P (Park) for automatic

transmission or 1st gear for manual transmissions.

WARNING: You must remain in the vehicle once you have

activated the hill start assist feature.

WARNING: During all times, you are responsible for controlling

the vehicle, supervising the hill start assist system and

intervening, if required.

WARNING: If the engine is revved excessively, or if a

malfunction is detected when the hill start assist feature is active,

the hill start assist feature will be deactivated.

This feature makes it easier to pull away when the vehicle is on a slope

without the need to use the parking brake. When this feature is active,

the vehicle will remain stationary on the slope for two to three seconds

after you release the brake pedal. This allows you time to move your foot

from the brake to the accelerator pedal. The brakes are released

automatically once the engine has developed sufficient drive to prevent

the vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when

pulling away on a slope, (for example from a car park ramp, traffic lights

or when reversing uphill into a parking space).

This feature is activated automatically on any slope that can result in

significant vehicle rollback. This feature will not operate if the parking

brake is activated.
