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’s foot is removed from 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 can roll after brake
pressure is released. The system will release brake pres-
sure in proportion to the amount of throttle applied as
the vehicle starts to move in the intended direction of
travel.
