Hill Descent Control
The function for assisting when driving down-
hill (HDC
12 ) is a low-speed function with
increased engine braking. The function
makes it possible to increase or decrease the
vehicle's speed on steep downhill gradients
by only using the accelerator pedal, without
applying the brakes.
The function is included in the Off Road drive
mode.
HDC is designed for driving on rough roads at
low speeds and downhill gradients with slip-
pery or otherwise difficult road surfaces. The
driver does not need to use the brake pedal
but can instead focus on steering.
WARNING
HDC is only intended to be a supplemen-

The driver is always ultimately responsible

Function

assisted by the brake system. The driver can
increase the speed by pressing the accelerator
pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released,
