4. Hill Start Assist – Hill Start Assist system assists the driver when starting vehicle from stopped position on hill:

• Maintains brake pressure for short time after driver takes foot off brake pedal
• If driver does not apply throttle during this period, system releases brake pressure and vehicle will begin to roll downhill
• System releases brake pressure in proportion to the amount of throttle applied as the vehicle starts to move

Criteria must be met for Hill Start Assist to activate:

• Vehicle must be stopped
• Vehicle must be on an 8% grade or greater hill
• Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction

Hill Start Assist works in reverse and all forward gears when criteria are met:

• Will not activate if vehicle is in Neutral or Park
