Hill Hold Control (Hhc) (If Equipped); Cruise Control - Mahindra XUV500 2012 Owner's Manual

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
the braking effect is reduced. On a shallow slope,
pressing the "SET +" button may result in no speed
increase.
If the brake pedal is depressed when HDC is active, HDC is
overridden and the brakes will perform as normal (a pulsation
might be felt through the brake pedal). If the brake pedal is
then released, HDC will recommence operating if necessary.
HDC system monitors the brake temperature continuously. If
brake application is continuous and brake temperatures are
too high, HDC de-activates automatically. This is to ensure
that the brake pads are not worn due to continuous brake
application.
If the HDC lamp in the cluster is continuously ON,
it indicates a malfunction. Get the vehicle checked
by the nearest Authorized Mahindra Dealer for
getting the HDC system corrected.

Hill Hold Control (HHC) (if equipped)

Hill Hold Control with acceleration sensor identifies gradients
and holds the vehicle for about three to four seconds after
the brakes have been released in order to prevent the vehicle
from accidentally rolling backwards during a hill start.
Imagine a situation where your vehicle is stopped on an uphill
incline. If you release the brake while moving off, there are
214
chances that your vehicle may roll back. HHC helps in such
situations by holding the vehicle from rolling back.
NOTICE
HHC operation cannot be intervened.
For HHC to work, clutch pedal must be in fully pressed
condition and gear engaged.
If the HHC warning lamp illuminates continuously
in the instrument
malfunction with the HHC system. Drive carefully
to the nearest Authorized Mahindra Dealer for
further assistance.

Cruise Control

Cruise control allows you to maintain a set speed without the
need to keep your foot on the accelerator pedal. It should be
used for cruising on straight, open highways. Never use it for
city driving, inclines, winding roads, slippery roads, heavy
rain or in bad weather conditions.
It works on the closed loop system principle to maintain the
set speed of the vehicle; the system controls the fuel
injection of the engine in order to maintain the set speed.
