Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
feature assists the driver to
descend down a steep hill without
having to depress the brake pedal.
The system automatically applies
the brakes to maintain the vehicle
speed 4 km/h (2.5mph) ~ 40 km/h
(25 mph) and allows the driver to
concentrate on steering the vehicle
down hill.
Always turn off the DBC on normal
roads. The DBC might activate inad
-
vertently from the stand by mode
when driving through speed bumps
or making sharp curves.
NOTICE
The DBC defaults to the OFF posi -
tion whenever the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.
Noise or vibration may occur from
the brakes when the DBC is acti
-
vated.
The rear stop light comes on when
DBC is activated.
