Hill Assist
Hill assist allows for easier maneuvering and improved control when stopping and starting on hills. In limited conditions, it may enable the vehicle to hold position when driving over obstacles or on hills. Never rely solely on hill assist to prevent the vehicle from moving on a hill.
Hill assist is not designed to hold the vehicle at a standstill on a hill. When stopped on a hill, depress the brake pedal to maintain vehicle control or shift to PARK (P). Failure to do so may result in the vehicle moving.
The vehicle will disengage hill assist if the seat belt is released or if the driver’s weight is not on the seat, including as you exit the vehicle. When hill assist is disengaged, the vehicle can move freely.
Hill assist may not prevent the vehicle from moving on a hill under all conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from moving.
