Hydraulic Brake Assist (Hba); Hill Descent Control (Hdc) - Mahindra XUV 500 Owner's Manual

Hydraulic Brake Assist
(HBA) (If equipped)
ESP system recognises / indentifies an
emergency braking situation from the
driver braking characteristics and thereby
achieves a braking output equivalent to a
full force demand at the controls. HBA
automatically boosts the braking force to
the maximum and helps to stop the
vehicle as quickly as possible.
NOTICE
• Pressure should be maintained on
the brake pedal during entire brake
application. If the brake pedal is
released, HBA will stop operating
• Only an expert driver can sense
whether HBA is working or not. A
normal driver may not be able to
realise this function

DRIVING AND OPERATION
HDC in action
During a descent, if the vehicle speed is
m o r e t h a n t h e r a t e d s p e e d s ( r e f e r
recommended shift speeds), HDC (if
selected) automatically operates the
brakes to slow the vehicle and maintain a
speed relative to the selected gear and
the accelerator pedal position.
HDC will also work in neutral gear, and
maintains the vehicle rolling speed by
operating brakes automatically. HDC will
deactivate automatically, if the vehicle
speed is more than 45 Kmph.
With HDC selected, gear changes
can be carried out in the normal way.
