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
Always be ready to depress the accelerator pedal when starting off on a incline. The HAC activates only for approximately 2 seconds.
Information
The Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) is a function of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. It helps ensure the vehicle stays stable when accelerating or braking suddenly on wet, slippery and rough roads where traction over the four tyres can suddenly become uneven.
The Emergency Stop Signal system alerts the driver behind by blinking the stop lights, whilst sharply and severely braking. The system is activated when: The vehicle suddenly stops.
You can check the tyre pressure in the Assist mode on the cluster. Refer to the "LCD Display Modes" in chapter 3. Tyre pressure is displayed after a few minutes of driving after initial engine start up. If tyre pressure is not displayed when the vehicle is stopped, "Drive to display" message will appear.
Wheel replacement When replacing the metal wheels for any reason, make sure the new wheels are equivalent to the original factory units in diameter, rim width and offset. Tyre traction Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
