WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the ve-
hicle down, stop at the nearest safe location,
and adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer
sway.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) – If
Equipped
HDC is only intended for low speed off-road
driving. HDC maintains vehicle speed while
descending hills in off-road driving conditions by
applying the brakes when necessary.
The symbol indicates the status of
the Hill Descent Control (HDC) fea-
ture. The lamp will be on solid
when HDC is armed. HDC can only
be armed when the transfer case is
in the “4WD LOW” position and the vehicle
speed is less then 30 mph (48 km/h). If these
conditions are not met while attempting to use
the HDC feature, the HDC indicator light will
flash on/off.
When enabled, HDC senses the terrain and
activates when the vehicle is descending a hill.
HDC speed may be adjusted by the driver to
suit the driving conditions. The speed corre-
sponds to the transmission gear selected.

However, the driver can override HDC opera-
tion by applying the brake to slow the vehicle
down below the HDC control speed. If more
speed is desired during HDC control, the accel-
erator pedal will increase vehicle speed in the
usual manner. When either the brake or the
accelerator is released, HDC will control the
vehicle at the original set speed.
Enabling HDC
1. Shift the transfer case into 4WD LOW range.
Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in “Start-
ing and Operating” for further information.
2. Press the “Hill Descent” button. The “Hill
Descent Control Indicator Light” in the instru-
ment cluster will turn on solid.
NOTE:
If the transfer case is not in 4WD LOW range,
the “Hill Descent Control Indicator Light”
will flash for five seconds and HDC will not
be enabled.
Disabling HDC
Press the “Hill Descent” button or shift the
transfer case out of 4WD LOW range. The “Hill
Descent Control Indicator” light in the instru-
ment cluster will turn off.
