HILL DESCENT CONTROL
The feature helps you set and
maintain vehicle speed while
descending steep grades on
various surface conditions. This
20
feature can maintain vehicle
speeds on downhill grades
between 2 mph (3 km/h)
and 20 mph (32 km/h).
At speeds between 20 mph
(32 km/h) and 40 mph (64 km/h),
the system remains armed, but
descent speed cannot be set
or maintained.

and you need to switch the system
back on to use.
To switch this feature on and
set the descent speed, do
the following:
1. Press and release the hill
descent button
located on
the instrument panel. A light in
the control turns on and a
tone sounds.
2. To increase descent speed,
press the accelerator pedal until
you reach the desired speed. To
decrease descent speed, press
the brake pedal until you reach
the desired speed.
