Hill Descent Control (HDC) (if equipped)
Assists the driver to descend a steep hill (max 50% inclination)
by means of brake intervention limiting the vehicle speed is
without driver's input.
During HDC if the wheel slip becomes excessive, ABS will be
activated automatically.
HDC is a user intended function. To activate press HDC button
on the central bezel switch bank. The LED on the button
illuminates indicating the status. Press the button again to
de-activate HDC.
During a descent, if the vehicle speed is more than the rated
speeds (refer recommended shift speeds), HDC (if selected)
automatically operates the brakes to slow the vehicle and
maintain a speed relative to the selected gear and the accel-
erator pedal position.
HDC will also work in neutral gear, and maintains the vehicle
rolling speed by operating brakes automatically. HDC will de-
activate automatically, if the vehicle speed is more than 45
kmph.
While HDC is controlling the vehicle speed, descent speeds
can be varied using cruise control switches mounted on the
steering wheel.
To decrease speed, press and hold “SET -” button. The vehicle
speed at the point of switch release will become the new
descent speed.
To increase, press and hold “SET +” button. The vehicle speed
at the point of switch release will become the new descent
speed. Alternatively, descent speeds can be adjusted by
tapping the “SET _” or “SET +” buttons. Each press of the
button will adjust the speed by approximately 0.5 kmph.
NOTICE
The descent speed increases only if the gradient is
sufficiently steep to cause the vehicle to accelerate as
