The vehicle must be stopped on an incline with the foot brake or parking brake.
The engine must be running smoothly.
All 4 wheels must have sufficient contact with the road and the vehicle may not be ramped.
The vehicle must be in Drive or Sport Drive (D/S) if headed up a hill or Reverse (R) if backing up a
hill, and the foot brake must be depressed to keep the vehicle from moving.
To drive off, take your foot off the brake pedal and gently depress the accelerator within 2 seconds.
Hill Start Assist is immediately deactivated:
If any requirement listed above is no longer met.
If the engine stalls or is switched off.
If the transmission is in Neutral (N).
If the driver door is opened.
If a tire does not have enough road contact (such as when the vehicle is tipped or at an angle).
WARNING
The intelligent technology of Hill Start Assist cannot overcome the laws of physics. Never let the
increased convenience provided by Hill Start Assist tempt you into taking risks.
Hill Start Assist cannot hold the vehicle in all hill start situations (for example, if the surface is
icy or slippery).
Hill Start Assist can only help keep the vehicle from moving for less than 2seconds. After that,
the brakes will be released and the vehicle can roll down the hill.
Hill Descent Control
When displayed in green: Hill Descent Control is active.
When displayed in grey: Hill Descent Control is not active. System is switched on, but does
not regulate.
Some vehicles are equipped with Hill Descent Control. Hill Descent Control helps the driver on steep
downhill grades by actively braking all four wheels to limit the speed when driving forward or revers‐
ing on steeper slopes. The wheels do not lock as the ABS stays active ⇒ .
