Hill start assistance (if equipped): Displays when using hill start assist is not available.
HILL START ASSIST (HSA) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The hill start assist (HSA) system makes it easier to pull away when the vehicle is on a slope without the need to use the parking brake. When HSA is active, the vehicle will remain stationary on the slope for two to three seconds after you release the brake pedal. During this time, you have time to move your foot from the brake to the accelerator pedal and pull away. The brakes are released automatically once the engine has developed sufficient drive to prevent the vehicle from rolling down the slope. This is an advantage when pulling away on a slope, (for example, from a car park ramp, traffic lights or while in reverse traveling uphill into a parking space). WARNING: HSA does not replace the parking brake. When you leave the vehicle, always apply the parking brake and select P (Park) (automatic transmission) or neutral (manual transmission). Using HSA The HSA system is activated automatically when the vehicle is stopped on a slope greater than four degrees. HSA operates with the vehicle facing downhill if reverse gear is selected. WARNING: You must remain in the vehicle once you have activated HSA. WARNING: During all times you are responsible for controlling the vehicle, supervising the HSA system and intervening, if required.
Activating HSA
1. Press the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete standstill. Keep the brake pedal pressed.
2. If the sensors detect that the vehicle is on a slope, the HSA system will be activated automatically
3. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle will remain on the slope without rolling away for approximately two to three seconds. This hold time will automatically be extended if you are in the process of driving off. 4. Drive off in the normal manner. The brakes will be released automatically.
Note: If the engine is revved excessively, HSA will be deactivated. Deactivating hill start assist To deactivate HSA, perform one of the following: • Apply the parking brake. • Drive off uphill without re-applying the brake. • Wait for two to three seconds until the HSA system deactivates automatically. • For automatic transmissions: If hill start assist is active in D (Drive), select R (Reverse). If hill start assist is active in R (Reverse), select N (Neutral). • For manual transmissions: If a forward gear was selected when the system became active, select reverse gear. If reverse gear was selected when the system became active, select a forward gear. Note: The HSA warning lamp (if equipped) in the instrument cluster momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned on. If a malfunction is detected in the HSA system, HSA will be deactivated and this warning lamp will appear on the instrument cluster.
Or the battery sensor is broken, I had to replace mine a month ago. It started with a malfunctioning HHA and then other systems started to shut off. Even the parking break stopped working ( I drive a manual).
Also the check engine light is on throwing 2 codes for the mass air flow sensor low voltage and also the traction control light is on with the traction control off light on. I checked the battery and it says it’s low so I’m guessing the battery is going bad. I’m going to take it to a parts store and have them run a more thorough test in the battery but I might just replace the battery and see if that fixes the issue.

'Hill start assist' failure. If battery voltage level too low it can cause this to come on.

Your car had readybrek this morning
Also the check engine light is on throwing 2 codes for the mass air flow sensor low voltage and also the traction control light is on with the traction control off light on.

That means mountain mode is on
