Hill Descent Control (HDC)

If equipped, HDC can be used when driving
downhill. It sets and maintains vehicle speed
while descending a very steep incline in a
forward or reverse gear.
To activate HDC, in the controls app on the
infotainment home screen, select Controls >
Drive & Park > Hill Descent Control.
Press ON or OFF to enable or disable HDC.
Vehicle speed must be below 60 km/h
(37 mph).
The HDC light displays on the instrument
cluster when enabled.
HDC can maintain vehicle speeds between
1 and 30 km/h (1 and 19 mph) on an incline
greater than or equal to a 10% grade.
Driving and Operating
A blinking HDC light indicates that the
system is actively applying the brakes to
maintain vehicle speed.
Set speed is established as soon as you
enable HDC. Apply the accelerator to
increase, or the brake pedal to decrease, the
set speed.
Smaller HDC speed control adjustments are
accomplished using the cruise up or down
buttons. Each tap of the +RES will increase
the set speed by 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph), while
each tap of the SET– will decrease the set
speed by 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph). This adjusted
speed becomes the new set speed.
HDC will remain enabled between 30 and
60 km/h (19 and 37 mph); however, vehicle
speed cannot be set or maintained in this
range. It will automatically disable if the
vehicle speed is above 80 km/h (50 mph) or
above 60 km/h (37 mph) for at least
5
30 seconds.
must be pressed again to
re-enable HDC.
When enabled, if the vehicle is at a speed
above 30 km/h (19 mph) and less than
60 km/h (37 mph), a Driver Information
Center (DIC) message will display instructing
the driver to reduce speed for HDC
operation.
