Hill Descent Control (HDC)
The HDC system is only an auxiliary
function. It has limitations when
subject to adverse conditions such
as wet or icy surfaces and steep
slopes.
Even when the HDC system is in
operating state, the driver must
always pay close attention to the
driving state of the vehicle, and take
active control when necessary. In
certain cases, the HDC system may
bedeactivatedtemporarily.
During some downhill driving
conditions (e.g. going downhill at
highspeedortheslopeoftheramp
is small, etc.), the HDC system
is inoperative, the driver must
maintain control of the vehicle at
alltimesandusebrakeapplications
to ensure safety.
The HDC system is an auxiliary function
specially designed for driving on acute
downhill gradients. The system reduces the
speed by applying brake force to assist the
driver drive down the steep slope smoothly.
Note: When the HDC system is working,
the brake system will produce slight
vibration or working noise, which is a
normalphenomenon.
Note: When the HDC system is working,
please do not move the shift control
knobto‘N’position.Suchoperationmay
deactivate the HDC function.
When the START/STOP Switch is in the
ON/READY state, the HDC system is off by
default. Use the switch within the infotainment
system to turn the HDC system on.
The HDC system has four states:
1 Standby:
Touch the HDC switch to set the system
into standby state, the green HDC
indicator lamp in the instrument pack will
illuminate.
2 Operating:
When the vehicle drives into a steep
slope at low speed and the driver does
not press the brake and accelerator
pedal, the system will automatically enter
the operating state. In this case, the green
HDC indicator lamp in the instrument
pack flashes. At this time, it may be
accompanied by the working noise of the
brake system, and the vehicle will drive
down the steep slope smoothly.
3 Temporary Deactivation:
By pressing the accelerator pedal or
if the brake pedal is pressed beyond a
certain limit whilst in operating state, the
HDC system will temporarily suspend
operation.
4 Off:
Touch the HDC switch again to switch
the system off, the green HDC indicator
lamp in the instrument pack will
extinguish.
