• Enabled: feature is enabled and
ready but activation conditions are
not met, or driver is actively
overriding with brake or throttle
application.
• Active: feature is enabled and
actively controlling vehicle speed.
Enabling and Activating the HDC
HDC is enabled by pressing the HDC
switch on LH side of steering wheel,
but the following conditions must also
be met to enable HDC:
• Maximum activation speed: 30 km/h
(18 mph).
• Parking brake is released.
• Driver door is closed.
HDC enabling is indicated by the
white light on instrument panel
display coming steady on. The light
remains white while the driver
operates the pedal unit to change the
speed, or when driving on a flat
stretch of road between two descents,
or when the descent is over.
Failed enabling is indicated by a
message on display.
Once enabled, when driving the
system automatically activates HDC.
When the vehicle exceeds 4 km/h
(2.5 mph), the light turns green and
the current speed appears below it
until the default speed value set to
8 km/h (5 mph). Therefore, the vehicle
speed is increased or decreased until it
reaches the default value.
The set speed for HDC is selectable by
the driver, and can be adjusted by
using the pedal unit or the
multifunction control on steering
wheel, which is the same used to set
the Cruise Control (see "Electronic
Speed Limiter and Cruise Control" or
"Adaptive Cruise Control - ACC
(optional)" in this section).
• If the driver brakes, the speed goes
below the default value: when s/he
releases the brake pedal, the speed
goes back to 8 km/h (5 mph).
• If the driver accelerates without
exceeding the maximum limit value
of 30 km/h (18 mph), when s/he
releases the accelerator pedal HDC
will set to the speed reached by
vehicle in that moment. The set
value appears under the green light
on the display.
Or:
• Push down (SET -) multifunction
switch to decrease the speed up to
3 km/h (1.8 mph) : pressing the brake
pedal up to default speed of 8 km/h
(5 mph). The set value appears under
the green light on the display.
