STARTING AND DRIVING
Hill descent control
Hill descent control (HDC 16 ) is a low speed
function with enhanced engine braking. The
function makes it possible to increase or
reduce the car's speed on steep downhill gra-
dients using only the accelerator pedal, with-
out using the foot brake.
In a car with drive mode control*, the function
is included in the Off Road drive mode.
Hill descent control is adapted for off-road
driving at low speeds and facilitates driving on
steep downhill gradients with difficult surfa-
ces. The driver does not need to use the brake
pedal, but can instead focus on steering.
WARNING
HDC does not work in all situations but is
designed merely as a supplementary aid.
The driver always bears ultimate responsi-
bility for ensuring that the vehicle is driven
safely.
Function
Hill descent control allows the car to roll at
inching speed both forward and backward,
assisted by the brake system. The speed can
be increased by using the accelerator pedal.
When the accelerator pedal is then released
the car slows back down to crawling speed,
* Option/accessory.
