HDC Hill Descent Control
Principle
HDC Hill Descent Control is a downhill control
feature that controls the vehicle speed on steep
downhill grades, for instance when driving on un‐
paved roads.
General information
When the system is active, the vehicle moves at
the speed set by the driver, without the driver
having to depress the brake pedal.
While HDC is controlling the speed, the system
automatically distributes the braking force to the
individual wheels. This improves vehicle drivabil‐
ity and driving stability. If necessary, the Antilock
Braking System prevents the wheels from lock‐
ing.
Hill Descent Control can be activated at speeds
below approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.
Speeds can be set between approx.
2 mph/3 km/h and approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
When the vehicle is driving downhill, the system
reduces the speed to the set value, within the
physical limits.
