Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
OMQ4H050029
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC) fea-
ture assists the driver to descend down a
steep hill without having to depress the
brake pedal.
The system automatically applies the
brakes to maintain the vehicle speed 4
km/h (2.5 mph) ~ 40 km/h (25 mph) and
allows the driver to concentrate on
steering the vehicle down hill.
Always turn off the DBC on normal
roads. The DBC might activate inadver-
tently from the stand by mode when
driving through speed bumps or making
sharp curves.
NOTICE
The DBC defaults to the OFF position
whenever the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton is placed in the ON position.
Noise or vibration may occur from the
brakes when the DBC is activated.
The rear stop light comes on when DBC
is activated.
