Disabling and Enabling the Hill Start Assist Feature
Your vehicle comes with hill start assist already enabled. If desired, you
can disable the feature by following the procedure below.
The following procedure must be completed within 45 seconds or the
process will have to be repeated. Begin this procedure with the ignition
turned off. This procedure is for both disabling and enabling the hill start
assist system.
1. Apply the parking brake to make sure the vehicle is not moving.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Place the vehicle in neutral gear.
4. Slowly press and release the brake pedal five times – make sure the
brake pedal is completely released each time.
5. Rotate the steering wheel at least one full turn to the right and return
the steering wheel to the original starting position.
6. Rotate the steering wheel at least one full turn to the left and return
the steering wheel to the original starting position.
7. Slowly press and release the brake pedal five times – ensure the brake
pedal is completely released each time.
When the procedure has been completed successfully, the ABS icon in
the instrument cluster will flash:
• three times indicating that the feature has been disabled.
• twice indicating it has been enabled.
Once the feature is programmed as desired, it will remain in that mode
until the above procedure is repeated.
Note: When the AdvanceTrac® system is disabled (see the Traction
Control chapter in your owner’s manual for information on how to do
this), the hill start assist feature is also disabled for the duration that the
AdvanceTrac® system is in that mode. Re-enabling AdvanceTrac® will
also re-enable hill start assist.
Note: If you have used the above procedure to disable the hill start
assist feature, then enabling or disabling AdvanceTrac® will not effect
the hill start assist system.
