the vehicle will return to very low speed
regardless of how steep the hill is and without
the brakes needing to be applied. The brake
lights will illuminate when the function is acti-
vated.

cle at any time by depressing the brake pedal.
HDC is activated along with Low Speed Con-
trol (LSC
13
), which facilitates and improves
traction and control on rough and slippery sur-
faces. The system is intended to be used at
low speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
To keep in mind when using HDC
•
If the function is switched off while driving
on a steep downhill gradient, braking
effect will be gradually reduced.
•
HDC can be used in gear positions D and
R
, and in manual gears 1 or 2.
•
It is not possible to manually shift to third
gear or higher when HDC is active.
NOTE
When LSC with HDC is activated in the
Off Road drive mode, the feel of the accel-
erator pedal and engine response will
change.
NOTE
This drive mode is not designed to be used
for normal street driving.
NOTE
The function is deactivated when driving at
high speeds and must be reactivated at
lower speeds if so desired.
