WARNING!

There may be situations on minor hills with a loaded
vehicle, or while pulling a trailer where the system
will not activate and slight rolling may occur, which
could cause a collision with another vehicle or object.
Always remember the driver is responsible for brak-
ing the vehicle.

The system will only work if the intended direction of the

vehicle and vehicle gear match. For example, if the

intended direction is forward up a hill and the vehicle is

in DRIVE (automatic transmission equipped vehicle),

and the activation criteria are met, HSA will activate.
HSA On Automatic Transmission Vehicles
The system will work in REVERSE, and all forward gears

on vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission.

The system will not activate if the vehicle is placed in

NEUTRAL.

HSA On Manual Transmission Vehicles
The system will work in REVERSE, forward gears, and

NEUTRAL on manual transmission equipped vehicles.

The system does not recognize NEUTRAL on manual

vehicles, thus it will hold the vehicle on an incline for a

short period while in NEUTRAL, regardless of clutch

position. If the vehicle is pointed down hill in NEUTRAL

and your foot is not on the clutch, it will roll down hill,

HSA will not hold you in this case. To prevent this, do not

attempt to roll down a hill simply by putting the trans-

mission in NEUTRAL and letting gravity act on the

vehicle. Instead, use the appropriate gear for moving in

the desired direction.
NOTE:

Towing With HSA
HSA will provide assistance when starting on a grade

when pulling a trailer.
