SAFETY 283
Disabling HDC
HDC will be deactivated and disabled if any of
the following conditions occur:

The driver pushes the HDC switch.

The driveline is shifted out of 4WD Low.

The driver’s door opens.

The vehicle is driven greater than 25 mph
(40 km/h) (HDC exits immediately.)
Feedback To The Driver:
The instrument cluster has an HDC icon and the
HDC switch has an LED, which offers feedback
to the driver about the state HDC is in.

The cluster icon and switch lamp will illumi -
nate and remain solid when HDC is enabled
or activated. This is the normal operating
condition for HDC.

The switch lamp will flash for several seconds
then extinguish when the driver pushes the
HDC switch when enable conditions have not
been met.
The HDC Switch is located within the
Selec-Terrain knob in the upper right position.
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
HSA is designed to help the driver accelerate
the vehicle from a complete stop while on an
incline. If the driver releases the brake while
stopped on an incline, HSA will continue to hold
the brake pressure for a short period. If the
driver does not apply the throttle before this
time expires, the system will release brake
pressure and the vehicle will roll down the hill as
normal. The system will release brake pressure
in proportion to amount of throttle applied.
The following conditions must be met in order
for HSA to activate:

The vehicle must be stopped.

The vehicle must be on a 5% (approximate)
grade or greater hill.

The gear selection must match vehicle uphill
direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in
forward gear; vehicle backing uphill is in
REVERSE gear).

For vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission, the HSA will work in REVERSE
gear and all forward gears. The system will
not activate if the transmission is in PARK.
WARNING!
HDC is only intended to assist the driver in
controlling vehicle speed when descending
hills. The driver must remain attentive to the
driving conditions and is responsible for
maintaining a safe vehicle speed.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill Start
Assist (HSA) will not activate and slight rolling
may occur, such as on minor hills or with a
loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer. HSA
is not a substitute for active driving
involvement. It is always the driver’s
responsibility to be attentive to distance to
other vehicles, people, and objects, and most
importantly brake operation to ensure safe
operation of the vehicle under all road
conditions. Your complete attention is always
required while driving to maintain safe control
of your vehicle. Failure to follow these
warnings can result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
