Hill Start Assist (HSA)
The HSA system is designed to assist the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill. HSA will maintain the level of brake pressure the driver applied for a short period of time after the driver takes their foot off of the brake pedal. If the driver does not apply the throttle during this short period of time, the system will release brake pressure and the vehicle will roll down the hill. The system will release brake pressure in proportion to amount of throttle applied as the vehicle starts to move in the intended direction of travel.
WARNING!
If the clutch pedal (manual transmission only) remains pressed during the application
of the throttle, the HSA will disengage allowing the vehicle to roll down the incline.
This could cause a collision with another vehicle or object. To avoid this, do not
apply throttle while pressing the clutch pedal until you are ready to release the
clutch. Always remember the driver is responsible for braking the vehicle.
