Hill Hold Control (Hhc) (If - Mahindra XUV 500 Owner's Manual

DRIVING AND OPERATION
While HDC is controlling the vehicle
speed, descent speeds can be varied
using cruise control switches mounted on
the steering wheel. To descent speed,
press and hold "-" switch. The vehicle
speed at the point of switch release will
become the new descent speed.
To increase, press and hold "+"switch.
The vehicle speed at the point of switch
release will become the new descent
speed. Alternatively, descent speeds can
be adjusted by tapping the "+" or "-"
switches. Each press of the switch will
adjust the speed by approximately 0.5
km/hr.
NOTICE
The descent speed will only increase
if the gradient is sufficiently steep
to cause the vehicle to accelerate as
the braking effect is reduced. On a
shallow slope, pressing the "+"
s w i t c h m a y r e s u l t i n n o s p e e d
increase.

If the brake pedal is depressed when
HDC is active, HDC is overridden and the
brakes will perform as normal (a pulsation
might be felt through the brake pedal). If
the brake pedal is then released, HDC will
recommence operating if necessary.
HDC Fade-Out
HDC system will monitor the brake
t e m p e r a t u r e c o n t i n u o u s l y, I f b r a k e
application is continuous and brake
temperatures are too high, HDC will
deactivate automatically. This is to ensure
that the brake pads are not faded due to
continuous brake application.
HDC Warning Indicator
If HDC is selected, check the LED lamp
on the HDC switch itself. If this lamp is not
illuminating, that means the system is not
turned ON. Also if the warning light on the
cluster is continuously illuminates, it
indicates the system is not working.
Get the vehicle checked by the nearest
Authorised Mahindra Dealer for getting
the HDC system corrected.

Hill Hold Control (HHC) (If

equipped)
Imagine a situation where your vehicle is
stopped on uphill incline. If you release
the brake while moving off, there are
chances that your vehicle may roll back.
To prevent this, a feature called Hill Hold
Control is provided.
Hill Hold Control with acceleration sensor
identifies gradients and holds the vehicle
for about three to four seconds after the
brakes have been released in order to
prevent the vehicle from accidentally
rolling backwards during a hill start.
NOTICE
• You can't manually intervene the
operation of HHC
• HHC to work, clutch pedal must be
in fully pressed condition and gear
must be engaged
