2) HDC (Hill Descent Control) System Operating Conditions
1. When HDC switch is turned ON
2. Gearshift lever position (Forward/Reverse)
Manual transmission: operates in the 1st gear or reverse gear position (does not operate in
neutral position).
Automatic transmission: operates in any position except for P (parking) or N (neutral) positions.
· The vehicles with manual transmission do not have a separate device or switch that
detects the 1st gear. It only detects the forward/reverse driving direction of the vehicle
through backup lamp switch and neutral switch, and cannot solely detect the 1st gear
position. The reason for noting the 1st gear above, though the HDC also operates in 2nd
gear position, is because the engine may turn off during the HDC operation process. You
may face a very dangerous situation if the engine turns off at a steep hill.
The HDC is the device to improve the engine brake effect during downhill driving on a steep
·
hill. For manual transmission equipped vehicle, HDC system should operated only in 1st gear.
3. When not depressing the accelerator pedal or brake pedal.
4. The vehicle speed is above 7 km/h (in Automatic transmission/4H mode).
· The vehicle speed given in step (3) varies according to the vehicle driving mode, and the
speed ranges by the vehicle driving mode and condition are as follows.
