PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
WARNING
Before driving off-road it is
absolutely essential that
in-experienced drivers become fully
familiar with the vehicle's controls. In
particular, Sport mode and Hill Descent
Control (HDC).
Hill descent control (HDC) operates in
conjunction with stability control (ESP) to
provide greater control when off-road,
particularly when descending steep slopes.
HDC operation is fully automatic when
engaged.
Engine braking controls the speed of the
descent during an off-road hill descent. If
engine braking alone is insufficient to
control the vehicle's speed, HDC will slow
the vehicle using the braking system.
Note:
Use HDC only in first or reverse gear
in manual transmission vehicles.
Note:
Use HDC only in
D
,
R
or Sport mode
1
in automatic transmission vehicles. When
in D, the vehicle will select the most
appropriate gear.

HDC deactivates when the electronic
locking differential is operating.

Note:
HDC will be active at speeds less
than 21.7 mph (35 km/h) and deactivated
above 24.9 mph (40 km/h) but will not turn
off until vehicle exceeds 37.3 mph
(60 km/h).
Note:
HDC will turn off when you switch
the ignition off.
The HDC switch will illuminate
continuously to indicate that
HDC is fully active.
HDC will temporarily deactivate during the
following conditions:
•
The brake is hot. Operation resumes
once the brakes cool down.

Stability control indicator on warning
lamp is illuminated and operating.

Electronic locking differential is
operating.
