Hill Descent Control (HDC)
Hill Descent Control (HDC) is an additional
function in ESP system related to driving comfort.
In the downhill process, the HDC exerts the
brakeforce to drive down the slope actively
through ESP without depressing the brake pedal.
Activation and Deactivation of HDC
–
When the speed is lower than 35 km/h, the
HDC function is activated by pressing the
button.
–
The HDC function is deactivated by pressing
the button again.
–
The brake lights of the rear combined light
are illuminated when the HDC system works.
After the HDC function is activated, the vehicle
will move at a minimum of 8 km/h and maintain
the same speed when driving downhill.
In addition, the driver can depress the accelerator
pedal or the brake pedal to adjust the speed. If the
current speed is 8 km/h ~ 35 km/h when the driver
releases the pedal, HDC function will be activated
again and the vehicle will continue to move
downhill with current speed.
●
The HDC is automatically deactivated after
the vehicle exceeds 60 km/h.
●
When the HDC control is effective, if the
wheel skids excessively, the ESP, the ESP
will be activated automatically.
