HILL DECENT CONTROL
WARNING:Hill descent control does not provide hill hold at
zero mph (0 km/h). When stopped, the parking brake must be
applied and/or the vehicle must be placed inP(Park) or it may roll
away.
Hill descent allows the driver to set and maintain vehicle speed while
descending steep grades regardless of surface conditions.
Hill descent control can maintain vehicle speeds on downhill grades
between 2 and 20 mph (3 and 32 km/h). Between 20 and 40 mph (32
and 64 km/h), the system remains enabled, but descent speed cannot be
set or maintained. If vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64 km/h), the
system is disabled. After this point, vehicle speed must drop below
40 mph (64 km/h), and the hill descent control button must be pressed
again to engage the feature.
Hill descent control requires a cooling down interval after a period of
sustained use. The amount of time that the feature can remain active
before cooling varies with conditions. The system will provide a warning
in the information display screen and a chime will sound when the
system is about to disengage for cooling. At this time, manually apply the
brakes as needed to maintain descent speed.

button located on the center
console. A light on the button will
illuminate and a one second chime
will sound when this feature is
activated.
2. To increase descent speed, press the accelerator pedal until the
desired speed is reached.
3. To decrease descent speed, press the brake pedal until the desired

UPFITTER CONTROLS
The auxiliary switchboard on the
center console makes aftermarket
customization easier, with four
prewired switches attached to the
power distribution box for electrical
accessories.
These switches are labeledAUX 1,AUX 2,AUX 3andAUX 4. They
will only operate while the ignition is in the on position, whether the
engine is running or not. It is, however, recommended that the engine
remain running to maintain a battery charge when using the switches for
an extended duration or higher current draws. When switched on by the
operator they provide 10 amps, 15 amps or 30 amps of electrical battery
power for a variety of uses.
The switches control relays and
fuses that are located under the
hood in the auxiliary switch pass
through circuits. See the
Engine/Transmissionchapter of
this supplement for the underhood
overview location of this component.
