Taking Control To New Heights

Smoothly climbing and descending the smallest road inclines to the largest hills is now easier than before thanks to Chrysler LLC Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control Systems. This advanced technology is specifically designed to apply the proper brake pressure when you need it most.

Hill Start Assist (HSA)

This feature assists drivers when starting a vehicle from a stop on a hill by maintaining the level of brake pressure applied for a short period of time after a driver's foot is removed from the brake pedal. If throttle is not applied within a short period of time after the driver's foot is removed from the brake pedal, brake pressure will be released.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)

This feature allows smooth and controlled descent on rough or slippery terrain without the driver having to touch the brake pedal. This system also applies the brakes to each wheel individually when needed to reduce forward motion when negotiating down steep grades.
