qHDC operation (if equipped)
With HDC engaged, the speed of descent
can be altered using the cruise control
steering wheel switches. SET
increases the speed, and SET
decreases the speed.
To increase speed press, and hold, the
SET
switch until the desired speed is
achieved. When the switch is released, the
speed will be maintained.
To decrease speed press, and hold, the
SET
switch until the desired speed is
achieved. When the switch is released, the
speed will be maintained.
To increase or decrease speed gradually,
tap the SET
or SET
required. Each tap of the switch will
increase, or decrease the speed in
increments of 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph). The
speed can also be increased or decreased
by pressing the accelerator pedal or brake
pedal respectively.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) (Some models.)

NOTE
Each gear has a pre-determined
l
minimum speed.
Descent speed will only increase on
l
a slope steep enough to provide
additional momentum. Therefore,
use of the
switch on a gentle
slope may not increase the speed.
If the brake pedal is depressed, HDC
l
will be overridden and the brakes
will operate as normal. When the
brake pedal is released, HDC will
resume control of the descent.
If HDC is switched off during a
l
descent, HDC assistance will fade
out gradually. This is to prevent loss
of control if HDC is switched off in
error. HDC will resume control when
switched back on if assistance is still
required, but at the speed the vehicle
is travelling when the pedal is
released.
When HDC is operating, a noise may
l
be heard from the Brake Control
Module in the engine compartment.
This is normal.
When HDC is operating, DSC
l
indicator will flash.
When driving off-road HDC can be
permanently selected, but it will only
provide assistance when the speed
parameters are met.
