The Hill Descent Assist system supports
the driver when driving down a steep in-
cline by actively braking the vehicle.
The Hill Descent Assist reduces the engine speed and brakes actively so that the vehicle travels con-stantly at walking speed =>&.
The requirement for regulation is, among other things, that the ground allows enough grip. The Hill Descent Assist system cannot fulfil its function when driving down an icy or slippery slope.
Hill Descent Assist is regulating
• If the Hill Descent Assist is switched on using the button and the indicator lamp lights up.
• AND: the speed is less than 30 km/h (19 mph).
• AND: the gradient is at least 10%.
• AND: if the accelerator and brake are not de-pressed.
• AND: if the engine is running.
Regulation is stopped if the vehicle is accelerated or braked by the driver during regulation. The regu-lation restarts once the requirements are met again.
Hill Descent Assist does not regulate
• If the gradient is less than 10%.
• OR: The speed is greater than 30 km/h (19 mph).
• OR: If the driver brakes or accelerates.
A WARNING
Always be prepared to brake the vehicle. Ac-cidents and Injuries could occur if this is not ensured.
