Hill Descent Control System
When driving down hills where engine braking is not enough to decelerate the
vehicle, this system helps maintain a constant vehicle speed without needing to
depress the brake pedal.
3WARNING
Hill descent control cannot maintain a
constant vehicle speed in every situation.
Hill Descent Control Operating Conditions
■
The system operates under the following conditions.
• Driving at a speed between about 2-12 mph (3-20 km/h).
• Driving downhill.
When driving down a very steep hill or on
slippery road surfaces, the vehicle may not
be able to maintain the vehicle speed and
could cause a crash, resulting in serious
injury or death.
• Accelerator pedal and brake pedal are not depressed.
