Hill descent control (HDC)
R
USING HDC
Selecting HDC
HDC can be selected at speeds below 80 km/h  
(50 mph). To select HDC, press and release the 
HDC on/off switch. 
The green HDC indicator will  
illuminate continuous  ly at speeds  
below 50 km/h (30 mph) to indicate  
that HDC is fully active. 
If the vehicle speed ex  ceeds 80 km/h (50 mph)  
HDC will disengage, and   the HDC indicator will  
extinguish. 
If HDC has been selected, and the vehicle  
speed rises above 50 km/h (30 mph) HDC is  
suspended, and the HDC   indicator will flash. A  
message will appear in the message centre to 
confirm the suspension of HDC.
HDC operation
With HDC engaged, the speed of descent can  
be altered using the cruise control steering  
wheel switches.   + increases the speed, and  —  
decreases the speed. 
To increase speed pr  ess, and hold, the + switch  
until the desired speed is achieved. When the 
switch is released, the speed will be  
maintained. 
To decrease speed press, and hold, the   —  
switch until the desired speed is achieved.  
When the switch is rele  ased, the speed will be  
maintained. 
To increase or decrease speed gradually, tap  
the   + or  — switch as required. Each tap of the  
switch will increase, or decrease the speed in 
increments of 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph). The  
accelerator pedal can also   be used to increase  
speed, up to the threshold in each gear. 
Note:   Each gear has a pre-determined  
minimum speed. 
Descent speed will only   increase on a slope  
steep enough to pr  ovide additional  
momentum. Therefore, use of the   + switch on  
a gentle slope may not increase the speed. 
When using HDC in vehicles fitted with a  
manual transmission, depressing the clutch  
pedal will prevent HDC from controlling the 
speed of descent.
