After starting the descent of a slope below
30 km/h (18 mph), speed is limited to a min-
imum of 2 km/h (1 mph) and a maximum of
30 km/h (18 mph). When appropriate, the driver
may increase or decrease the speed within the
limit by pressing the accelerator or the brake.
At this point the function is interrupted and, if
necessary, it is then reactivated.
Even so, it is imperative that the surface guaran-
tees sufficient adhesion. For this reason, the Hill
Descent Control will not fulfil its function when,
for example, descending a slope with a frozen
or slippery surface.
Hill Descent Control is available when the dash
panel display shows the message
Hill Descent Control automatically intervenes if
the following conditions are met:
●
The vehicle engine is running.
●

the dash panel display).
●
The slope of the descent is at least 10% when
driving forward and 9% when driving in reverse.
●
The brake and the accelerator are not
pressed.
Hill Descent Control is deactivated on pressing
the brake and the accelerator or if the slope
is below 5%. The function can be switched off
manually in the infotainment system using the
> HDC function button.

WARNING
Always be ready to brake. Otherwise, an ac-
cident could occur and cause injury.
●
Hill Descent Control is only an auxiliary
system that in some situations may not suffi-
ciently brake the vehicle when going down a
slope.
●
The speed of the vehicle may increase de-
spite the intervention of Hill Descent Control.

On vehicles with electromechanical steering,
the power steering automatically adjusts ac-
cording to the driving speed, the steering wheel
torque and the orientation of the wheels. The
power steering only works when the engine is
running.
If the power steering does not work properly or
does not work at all, you will have to use much
more strength than usual to turn the steering
wheel.
Driving
Progressive steering
Depending on the vehicle's features, it may or
may not incorporate a progressive steering sys-
tem.
In city traffic you do not need to turn so much
on parking, manoeuvring or in very tight turns.
On roads or motorway, progressive steering
transmits, for example, in bends, a sportier,
more direct and noticeably more dynamic driv-
ing sensation.
Steering assist
This help assists the driver in critical situations. It
recommends turning the steering wheel to per-
form a corrective manoeuvre (counter-steer-
ing), turning slightly to avoid skidding
