hill descent control switch
(if so equipped)
The hill descent control system is designed to reduce driver
workload when going down steep hills. The hill descent
control system helps to control vehicle speed so the driver can
concentrate on steering the vehicle.
To activate the hill descent control system:
The automatic transmission selector lever must be in
forward or reverse gear,
The 4WD switch must be in the 4L position and the vehicle speed must be under 15
MPH (25 km/h), or
The 4WD switch must be in the 4H position and the vehicle speed must be under 21
MPH (35 km/h), and
The hill descent control system switch must be on.
The hill descent control indicator light will come on when the system is activated.
Also, the stop/tail lights illuminate while the hill descent control system applies the
brakes to control vehicle speed. To turn off the hill descent control system, push the
switch to the off position. The hill descent control system is temporarily disabled when
the brake or accelerator pedal is depressed.
Refer to your Owner’s Manual for detailed information.
H ILL S TART A SSIST (HSA) (
if so equipped)
The hill start assist system automatically keeps the brakes applied to help prevent the
vehicle from rolling backwards in the time it takes the driver to release the brake pedal
and apply the accelerator when the vehicle is stopped on a hill.
