Hill Start Assist<br />
• Standard on all models<br />
• Helps keep the vehicle from rolling backward,<br />
making it easier to pull away when on a slope or a<br />
hill with a grade greater than five degrees<br />
• Activating the system is simple:<br />
– Press the brake to bring the vehicle to a<br />
complete standstill<br />
– Keep the brake pedal depressed<br />
– If the sensors detect that the vehicle is on<br />
a slope, Hill Start Assist is automatically<br />
activated<br />
• When Hill Start Assist is activated, the vehicle<br />
remains stationary on the slope for up to two<br />
seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal<br />
• The brakes are automatically released once the<br />
engine has developed sufficient power to prevent<br />
the vehicle from rolling down the slope<br />
• Hill Start Assist will not operate when the parking<br />
brake is engaged<br />

is depleted<br />
SecuriLock Passive Anti-theft System<br />
