OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Hill Hold Control System (if equipped) The hill hold control system is designed to assist you in starting to move up steep or slippery hills. When you start to move up a hill, the system helps to prevent the vehicle from rolling downward while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. 3) The vehicle is on an upward incline. NOTE: You may hear a sound coming from the engine when the hill hold control system is activated. This sound is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (if equipped) The tire pressure monitoring system is designed to alert you when one or more of the tires on your vehicle is significantly under-inflated. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor containing a unique identification code is mounted on each wheel. The TPMS sensors transmit tire pressure signals to receiver which relays the information to a tire pressure monitoring system controller. When the inflation pressure of one or more tires indicates significant under-inflation, the low tire pressure warning light shown below comes on. WARNING • Do not rely excessively on the hill hold control system. The hill hold control system may not prevent the vehicle from rolling downward on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from rolling downward. Failure to pay attention and depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle on a hill when necessary, may result in loss of control or an accident. • Do not use the hill hold control system to bring the vehicle to a stop on a hill. The hill hold control system activates for a maximum of about 2 seconds if your foot is moved from the brake pedal when the following condition are all met. 1) The gearshift lever is in a forward gear or reverse gear. 2) The parking brake is released. 57L31023 If the message shown in the above illustration appears on the information display, there may be a problem with the hill hold control system.
