The Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) helps prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. The system operates the brakes automatically for approximately 2 seconds and releases the brake after 2 seconds or when the accelerator pedal is depressed.
WARNING Whenever leaving the vehicle or parking, always come to a complete stop and continue to depress the brake pedal. Move the shift lever into the P (Park) position, then apply the parking brake, and place the ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF position.
The Smart Cruise Control System may have limits to its ability to detect distance to the vehicle ahead due to road and traffic conditions. On curves The Smart Cruise Control System may not detect a moving vehicle in your lane, and then your vehicle could accelerate to the set speed.
