WARNING!
Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road conditions
and driving conditions, influence the chance that
wheel lift or rollover may occur. ERM cannot prevent
all wheel lift or roll overs, especially those that involve
leaving the roadway or striking objects or other ve-
hicles. The capabilities of an ERM-equipped vehicle
must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous
manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the
safety of others.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped
This system maintains vehicle speed while descending hills
during off-road driving situations. HDC will automatically
apply the brakes to control downhill speed to between
4 mph (7 km/h) and 6 mph (9 km/h) depending on terrain.
The system is activated by placing the vehicle in “Off-
Road” mode and placing the gear selector in LOW or
REVERSE. Refer to “Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information.When HDC is properly enabled, the “Hill Decent
Control Light” in the instrument cluster will be
illuminated. HDC has the capability to sense terrain and will only
activate when the vehicle is descending a hill. It will not
activate on level ground. If desired, HDC can be fully
deactivated by putting the vehicle into ESC “Full Off”
mode. This is done by pushing and holding the “ESC Off”
button for five seconds. Refer to “Electronic Stability
Control (ESC)” in this section of the manual.
HDC operation can be overridden with brake application
to slow the vehicle down below the HDC control speed.
Conversely, if more speed is desired during HDC control,
the accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed like nor-
mal. When either the brake or the accelerator is released,
HDC will control the vehicle back to the original set speed.
HDC is only intended for low speed off-road driving. At
vehicle speeds above 31 mph (50 km/h), HDC will no
longer function. If the “HDC Indicator Light” begins to
flash, this indicates that the brakes are getting too hot and
the vehicle should be stopped to allow the brakes to cool.
WARNING!
HDC is only intended to assist the driver in controlling
vehicle speed when descending hills. The driver must
