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.

WARNING: The hill start assist feature does not replace the

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

parking brake and select first or reverse gear.

Using hill start assist

The hill start assist feature is activated automatically when the vehicle is

stopped on a slope greater than five degrees. The hill start assist feature

operates with the vehicle facing downhill if reverse gear is selected. The

hill start assist feature will not operate if the parking brake is activated.

WARNING: You must remain in the vehicle once you have

activated the hill start assist feature.

Activating hill start assist

1. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete standstill.

Keep the brake pedal pressed.

2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope, the hill start assist

feature will be activated automatically.

3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle will

remain on the slope without rolling away for approximately up to two

seconds. This hold time will automatically be extended if you are in the

process of driving off.

4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will be released

automatically.

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.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow

Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.
