ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL

The transmission will automatically adjust how and when it shifts gears  

based on road conditions and your driving style. The transmission may stay

driving experience.

HILL LAUNCH ASSIST (HLA)

This feature helps assist you when accelerating the vehicle from a stop while 

on a hill or slope. When the brake pedal is released and the accelerator 

pedal is pressed, HLA prevents the vehicle from rolling forward or backward. 

It operates on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R) 

position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a position other 

than the reverse (R) position.

NOTE:

The HLA system will hold the vehicle for a maximum of 2.0 seconds while 

the driver is changing from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
