Hillstartassistmaynotpreventyour

vehicle from rolling downhill on a

very steep or slippery slope, and will

not operate on small inclines.

Hill start assist is not a replacement

for the parking brake. If parking

your vehicle, ensure that the

transmission is in park, and/or the

parking brake is fully applied before

exiting the vehicle. For vehicles with

manual transmission, it is

recommended that you turn off the

engine before exiting the vehicle.

If the VSA system indicator comes

on with a ‘‘CHECK HILL START

ASSIST SYSTEM’’ message on the

multi-information display, there may

be a problem with the hill start assist.

The VSA also may not function.

Have your vehicle inspected by your

dealer.

Hill start assist will still operate even

when VSA is switched off.

On manual transmission models:

You must come to a complete stop,

press the clutch pedal, and shift to

first gear when facing uphill, or

reverse when facing downhill.

Release the brake pedal. The brakes

remain engaged briefly to keep the

vehicle from rolling forward or

backward while you move your foot

from the brake pedal to the

accelerator pedal. Gently apply the

accelerator pedal while

simultaneously releasing the clutch

pedal, as in normal driving. Hill start

assist will release brake pressure

gradually as you accelerate.

Hill start assist will also hold braking

briefly if you select the neutral gear

position with the clutch pedal

depressed when facing uphill.
