Points to remember when driving with
HDC
If the function is disabled while driving on
•
a steep downhill gradient, the braking
effect will gradually decrease.
With automatic gearbox
HDC can be used in gear position D, R,
•
and with 1st or 2nd gear with manual gear
changing.
It is not possible to change to 3rd gear or
•
higher with manual gear changing.
With manual gearbox
HDC only brakes in 1st gear or with
•
reverse gear (R). There is no active braking
in higher gears even though the function is
not deactivated until approx. 40 km/h (25
mph).
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated, the feel
of the accelerator pedal and engine
response are changed.
NOTE
The driving mode is not designed to be
used on public roads.
NOTE
The function is deactivated when driving at
higher speeds and must be reactivated at a
lower speed, if required.
