REVERSE 1 mph (1.5 km/h)
However, the driver can override HDC opera-
tion by applying the brake to slow the vehicle
down below the HDC control speed. If more
speed is desired during HDC control, the
accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed
in the usual manner. When either the brake or
the accelerator is released, HDC will control
the vehicle at the original set speed.
Enabling HDC
1. Shift the transfer case into 4WD LOW
range. Refer to "Four-Wheel Drive Opera-
tion" in "Starting and Operating" for fur-
ther information.
2. Push the "Hill Descent" button. The "Hill
Descent Control Indicator Light" in the
instrument cluster will turn on solid.
NOTE:
• If the transfer case is not in 4WD LOW
range, the "Hill Descent Control Indica-
tor Light" will flash for five seconds and
HDC will not be enabled.
• If the ESC senses that the brakes are
overheating the "Hill Descent Control
Indicator Light" will flash for five sec-
onds and HDC will become deactivated
until the brakes have cooled.
Disabling HDC
Push the "Hill Descent" button or shift the
transfer case out of 4WD LOW range. The
"Hill Descent Control Indicator" light in the
instrument cluster will turn off.

SYSTEMS

Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
will warn the driver of a low tire pressure
based on the vehicle recommended cold
placard pressure.
The tire pressure will vary with temperature
by about 1 psi (7.0 kPa) for every 12°F
(6.5°C). This means that when the outside
temperature decreases, the tire pressure will
decrease. Tire pressure should always be set
based on cold inflation tire pressure. This is
defined as the tire pressure after a vehicle
has not been driven for more than three
hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km)
after a three-hour period. Refer to "Tires" in
"Servicing and Maintenance" for information
on how to properly inflate the vehicle's tires.
The tire pressure will also increase as the
vehicle is driven; this is normal and there
should be no adjustment for this increased
pressure.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire
pressure if the tire pressure falls below the
low pressure warning threshold for any rea-
son, including low temperature effects, or
natural pressure loss through the tire.
The TPMS will continue to warn the driver of
low tire pressure as long as the condition
exists, and will not turn off until the tire
pressure is at or above recommended cold
placard pressure. Once the "Tire Pressure
