HDC (HILL DESCENT CONTROL) SWITCH*
HDC stands for Hill Descent Control. When traveling down steep grades, this function
allows you to travel at a low speed without any depression of the brake pedal. This conve-
nient function is for only driving down steep grades. Therefore do not use this function for
anything other than driving down steep hills.
HDC Switch
When this button is pressed
once, HDC is ready for use. The
green HDC indicator on the in-
strument cluster comes on. When
the button is pressed again, HDC
is deactivated and the indicator
goes off.
The HDC Indicator
Green light on: HDC is ready for
use (by pressing the HDC switch).
Green light blinking: HDC is be-
ing applied.
Red light on: the HDC system is overheated
or malfunctioning.
When HDC is applied, the green HDC indicator blinks.
When the red HDC indicator is on, the HDC system is over-
heated or malfunctioning.
When the red HDC indicator is on, the HDC function does
not work.
HDC?
Depressing the Accelerator or Brake Pedal
while HDC is being applied
If you depress the accelerator or brake pedal, the HDC func-
tion immediately stops and there will be more driving or brak-
ing force accordingly.
• When driving down an extremely dangerous steep grade, HDC will
still work even if the brake or accelerator pedal is depressed.
