Cautions When Using HDC System
Customers must first acquaint themselves with the HDC operation related information, e.g. operation conditions and
non-operation conditions, because they may feel unfamiliar with its function and operation process. The noise during
the HDC operation is very different from that during the ABS/ESP operation. This noise may be irritating and accom-
pany some vibration, because, on steep hills, it attempts to control the physical properties of the vehicle weight with
the braking power.
Below is the summary of precautions to remember in HDC operation.
NOTICE
• The HDC system is intended for use only on off-roads with a slope level exceeding 10%. Thus, do not use it on
public road.
• Too frequent use of HDC system may weaken the durability of the ESP HECU and related systems.
• Driver must turn the HDC switch to OFF position when driving on public and level roads. As mentioned previously,
when a driver make sharp turns or drive on rough roads, the HDC may suddenly operate for these sudden
shocks influence the G sensor values. When such occurs, the driver may panic because the vehicle speed
drops sharply and the driver will experience difficulty in controlling the vehicle.
• During the HDC operation, a loud noise and the vehicle vibration may occur from the HECU and the brake
system, but this is a normal condition during the HDC operation.
