Hill Descent Control (HDC)
HDC provides braking automatically to maintain the vehicle’s speed which existed at the time
the driver released the gas pedal or the brake pedal.
NOTE: HDC is not a cruise control function. It will not advance the throttle setting to
increase speed. HDC functions during downhill driving or on any terrain where
the vehicle’s speed may increase from gravity or vehicle inertia.
When HDC is in operation, an indicator lamp on the combination meter and multifunction
display starts flashing so that the driver can visually check that the system is operating. (During
standby, the HDC indicator lamp stays ON steadily.) The brake lights activate when the HDC is
operating.
