HDC (Hill Descent Control) System
The HDC system is an automatic descent control device that allows the vehicle to
automatically decelerate to about 7 km/h with increment of 0.1G, on steep roads (inclination
exceeding 10%) through a separately installed switch operation. When the vehicle speed
reaches below 7 km/h (refer to the information below), the HDC automatically terminates the
operation.
The HDC does not have a separate sensor for the input signal and detects the inclination of
hills by using the G sensor (acceleration sensor) in the sensor cluster.

Overview of HDC Operation
HDC Switch
When you see a steep downhill ahead, press the HDC switch
and the green HDC indicator comes on. When the G sensor
within the sensor cluster detects a inclination exceeding 10%,
the ESP's HDC function operates. When this occurs, the
green HDC indicator goes off along with a loud operation
noise.
Sensor Cluster
The G Sensor within the sensor cluster detects the inclination
of driving roads. When the HDC switch is in operation, if the
G sensor detects a downhill inclination exceeding 10%, it
transmits the HDC operation signal to the ESP HECU.
