STARTING & DRIVING
Hill Descent Control (HDC)
The HDC system is only an auxiliary
function. It has limitations when subject to
adverse conditions such as wet or icy surfaces
and steep slopes. The HDC system cannot
overcome the laws of physics, always ensure
that the vehicle is driven down steep slopes
at low speeds.
Even when the HDC system is switched on,
the driver must always pay close attention
to the driving state of the vehicle, and take
active control when necessary.
In certain
cases, HDC may be suspended or switched
off temporarily.
During some driving conditions on downhill
surfaces (e.g.
driving down a slope at
high speed or small slope, etc.), HDC is
inoperative, the driver must maintain control
of the vehicle at all times and use brake
applications to ensure safety.
The HDC system is an auxiliary function specially designed
for driving on acute downhill gradients.
The system
reduces the speed by applying brake force, thus assisting
the driver to drive on acute downhill surfaces with low
speeds.
Please DO NOT use this function when driving on the
ordinary roads.
When the HDC is working, the brake system may
generate strong vibrations or noise. It is normal during
the operation of HDC.
Note: During the operation of the Hill Descent
Control (HDC) system, please engage a lower gear
on MT models to prevent the engine stalling; on AT
models, please do not move the shift lever to the "N"
position or the HDC function may be deactivated.
