Hill start assist (HSA)*

The foot brake can be released before setting
off or reversing uphill - the HSA (Hill Start
Assist) function means that the car does not
roll backwards.
The function means that the pedal pressure in
the brake system remains for several seconds
while the driver's foot is moved from brake
pedal to accelerator pedal.
The temporary braking effect releases after
several seconds or when the driver acceler-
ates.

All-wheel drive - (AWD)*
Optimal traction is achieved with all-wheel
drive.
All-wheel drive is always available
All-wheel drive (All Wheel Drive) means that
the car is driving all four wheels at the same
time.
The power is automatically distributed
between the front and rear wheels. An elec-
tronically controlled clutch system distributes
the power to the wheels that have the best
grip on the current road surface. This pro-
vides the best traction and prevents wheel
spin. Under normal driving conditions, the
majority of power is transmitted to the front
wheels.
All-wheel drive improves driving safety in rain,
snow and icy conditions.

Depends on engine and gearbox combination. HSA not possible with some combinations.
