However, the driver can override HDC opera-
tion by applying the brake to slow the vehicle
down below the HDC control speed. If more
speed is desired during HDC control, the
accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed
in the usual manner. When either the brake or
the accelerator is released, HDC will control
the vehicle at the original set speed. Enabling HDC
1. Shift the transfer case into 4WD LOW
range. Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Opera-
tion” in “Starting and Operating” for fur-
ther information.
2. Push the “Hill Descent” button. The “Hill
Descent Control Indicator Light” in the
instrument cluster will turn on solid.
NOTE:
• If the transfer case is not in 4WD LOW
range, the “Hill Descent Control Indica-
tor Light” will flash for five seconds and
HDC will not be enabled.
• If the ESC senses that the brakes are
overheating the “Hill Descent Control
Indicator Light” will flash for five sec-
onds and HDC will become deactivated
until the brakes have cooled.
Disabling HDC
Push the “Hill Descent” button or shift the
transfer case out of 4WD LOW range. The
“Hill Descent Control Indicator” light in the
instrument cluster will turn off.
