Descent Control

System (DCS)

The Descent Control System (DCS)
allows the vehicle to travel at a low
speed without applying the brake.
The vehicle will automatically
decelerate to a low speed and
remain there when DCS is
turned on.
Use only when descending steep
grades while driving off-road. Do not
use when driving on normal road
surfaces.
Turn the system on by pressing the
DCS button located on the center
stack. The green DCS light comes
on steady in the instrument cluster
when the system is on.
The green DCS light flashes on the
instrument cluster while driving at
speeds below 35 km/h (22 mph) to
show the system is operating.
Driving and Operating
DCS will not activate at speeds
above 35 km/h (22 mph), even if the
button is pressed.
Notice
DCS is designed for driving
down steep off-road hills.
Unnecessary use of DCS can
cause malfunctions in the
brake system or StabiliTrak.
Some noise or vibration from
the brake system may be
heard or felt when DCS is
active. This is normal.
To turn the system off, press the
DCS button again and the DCS light
turns off. Applying the brake or
accelerator will also cause DCS to
turn off.
