Descent control system

The descent control system allows
the vehicle to travel at a low speed
without depressing the brake pedal.
The vehicle will automatically
decelerate to a low speed and remain
at that speed when the system is
activated. Some noise or vibration
from the brake system may be
apparent when the system is active.
Caution
Use only when descending steep
grades while driving off-road. Do
not use when driving on normal
road surfaces. Unnecessary
usage of the descent control
system, such as while driving on
normal roads, may damage the
brake system and the ESC
function.
Activation
Note
The system activates in the case of
slopes with a decline greater than
five percent. The system can be
used with the gearbox in neutral.
Otherwise, select a gear
corresponding to the speed to
prevent the enging from stalling. For
vehicles with automatic
transmission or BEVs, the system
can be used with the selector lever
in position N, D or R.
At speeds below approx. 50 km/h,
press ò. The system can also be
activated when the vehicle is
stationary with the engine running.
The control indicator ò in the
instrument cluster is illuminated in
green to show the system is
activated.
