WARNING
•
Never rely solely on the hill descent control
system to control vehicle speed when driving
on steep downhill grades. Always drive care-
fully when using the hill descent control sys-
tem and decelerate the vehicle speed by de-
pressing the brake pedal if necessary. Be es-
pecially careful when driving on frozen, muddy
or extremely steep downhill roads. Failure to
control vehicle speed may result in a loss of
control of the vehicle and possible serious in-
jury or death.
•
The hill descent control system may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under all load or
road conditions. Always be prepared to de-
press the brake pedal to control vehicle speed.
Failure to do so may result in a collision or se-
rious personal injury.
When the hill descent control system is activated, it
automatically applies smooth brakes to control
speed on a steep and slippery descent or off the
road without brake or accelerator operation. The
hill descent control system helps maintain vehicle
speed when driving under 25 km/h (16 MPH) on a
steep descent that engine braking alone in the <4H>
or <4LO> mode cannot control the speed.
NOTE
When the hill descent control system operates
continuously for a long time, the temperature of
the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system
actuator may increase and the hill descent con-
trol system may be temporarily disabled. The hill
descent control system on indicator light will turn
off. The hill descent control system will resume
operating automatically and the indicator light
will illuminate again when the temperature of the
ESP system actuator is reduced. If the indicator
light does not illuminate, turn off the system.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL SWITCH
When additional braking is required on steep down-
hill roads, activate the hill descent control system
by pushing the hill descent control switch on.
When the hill descent control system is activated,
the hill descent control system on indicator light
will illuminate. (See “Warning lights, indicator lights
and audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.) Also, the stop/tail lights illuminate
while the hill descent control system is applying the
brakes to control the vehicle speed.
To activate the hill descent control system, satisfy
all of the following conditions:
•
Shift the transmission to the forward (only 1st
gear for MT model) or reverse gear.
•
Shift the 4WD mode switch to the <4H> or <4LO>
position and drive the vehicle at a speed under
25 km/h (16 MPH).
See “Warning lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section.
•
Push the hill descent control switch to the “ON”
position.
If the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed while
the hill descent control system is on, the system will
stop operating temporarily. As soon as the accel-
erator or brake pedal is released, the hill descent
control system begins to function again if the hill
descent control operating conditions are fulfilled.
The hill descent control system on indicator light
blinks if the hill descent control switch is on and all
conditions for system activation are not met, or if
the system becomes disengaged for any reason.
To turn off the hill descent control system, push the
hill descent control switch to the “OFF” position.
