WARNING!

If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer,
your trailer brakes may be activated and deactivated
with the brake switch. If so, when the brake pedal is
released there may not be enough brake pressure to
hold the vehicle and trailer on a hill and this could
cause a collision with another vehicle or object
behind you. In order to avoid rolling down the
incline while resuming acceleration, manually acti-
vate the trailer brake or apply more vehicle brake
pressure prior to releasing the brake pedal. Always
remember the driver is responsible for braking the
vehicle.

WARNING!

HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the vehicle
on a hill without putting the transmission in park or
using the parking brake, it will roll down the incline
and could cause a collision with another vehicle or
object. Always remember to use the parking brake
while parking on a hill, and that the driver is
responsible for braking the vehicle.

HSA Off
If you wish to turn off the HSA system, follow this
procedure:

1. Start with the engine off and vehicle in Park (auto-
matic transmission) or Neutral with clutch out (manual
transmission) with wheels straight. Apply parking brake
on manual transmission vehicle.

2. Start the engine.
