184 SAFETY
The ESC OFF Indicator Light indicates
that the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
is in a reduced mode.
NOTE:
The ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light

and the ESC OFF Indicator Light come on
momentarily each time the ignition is placed in
the ON position.
Each time the ignition is placed in the ON posi-

tion, the ESC system will be on even if it was
turned off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking

sounds when it is active. This is normal; the
sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive
following the maneuver that caused the ESC
activation.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped
HDC is intended for low speed off-road
driving while in 4WD Low. HDC maintains
vehicle speed while descending hills
during various driving situations. HDC
controls vehicle speed by actively controlling the
brakes.
HDC has three states:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate).
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but
activation conditions are not met, or driver is
actively overriding with brake or throttle
application).
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively
controlling vehicle speed).
Enabling HDC
HDC is enabled by pushing the HDC button,
located in front of the gear selector. The following
conditions must also be met to enable HDC:
The driveline is in 4WD Low.

The vehicle speed is below 7.5 mph (12 km/h).

The Electric Park Brake (EPB) is released.

The driver's door is closed.

Activating HDC
Once HDC is enabled, it will activate automatically
if driven down a grade of sufficient magnitude
(greater than approximately 8%). The set speed for
HDC is selectable by the driver and can be
adjusted within the thresholds by using throttle or
brake application.
Driver Override:
The driver may override HDC activation speed with
throttle or brake application at any time.
Deactivating HDC
HDC will be deactivated but remain available if any
of the following conditions occur:
The driver overrides HDC set speed with a speed

exceeding 7.5 mph (12 km/h) but remains
below 25 mph (40 km/h).
The vehicle is on a downhill grade of insufficient

magnitude (less than approximately 8%), is on
level ground, or is on an uphill grade.
Vehicle is shifted to PARK.

Disabling HDC
HDC will be deactivated and disabled if any of the
following conditions occur:
The driver pushes the HDC switch.

The driveline is shifted out of 4WD Low.

The driver's door opens.

The vehicle is driven greater than 25 mph

(40 km/h) (HDC exits immediately.)
