Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)
A vehicle has the tendency to roll back on a steep hill when it starts to go after stopping. The HAC prevents your Kia from rolling back by applying the brakes automatically for about 2 seconds.
The brakes are released when the accelerator pedal is engaged or after about 2 seconds.
The HAC is activated for about 2 seconds, so when your Kia is starting, always engage the accelerator pedal.
WARNING
Maintaining brake pressure on incline
HAC does not replace the need to apply brakes while stopped on an incline. While stopped, make sure you maintain sufficient brake pressure to prevent your vehicle from rolling backward and causing an accident. Don't release the brake pedal until you are ready to accelerate.
