Hill Descent Control (Hdc) - MG HS PHEV Manual

STARTING & DRIVING

Hill Descent Control (HDC)

The HDC system is only an auxiliary
function. It has limitations when subject to
adverse conditions such as wet or icy surfaces
and steep slopes. The HDC system cannot
overcome the laws of physics, always ensure
that the vehicle is driven down steep slopes
at low speeds.
Even when the HDC system is switched on,
the driver must always pay close attention
to the driving state of the vehicle, and take
active control when necessary. In certain
cases, HDC may be suspended or switched
off temporarily.
During some driving conditions on downhill
surfaces (e.g. driving down a slope with
high speed, the slope is less than 10%, etc.),
HDC is inoperative, the driver must maintain
control of the vehicle at all times and use
brake applications to ensure safety.
186
The HDC system is an auxiliary function specially designed
for driving on acute downhill gradients.
reduces the speed by applying brake force, thus assisting
the driver to drive on acute downhill surfaces with low
speeds.
Please DO NOT use this function when driving on the
ordinary roads.
When the HDC is working, the brake system may emit a
strong vibration or noise. It is normal during the operation
of HDC.
Note: During the operation of hill descent control
(HDC) system, please do not switch the shift lever to
"N" position. Such operation may deactivate the HDC
function.
