STARTING AND DRIVING
380
Braking effect after a collision
In certain types of collisions, the vehicle's brakesare applied to help prevent or mitigate a secon-dary collision.
Maintaining control of the vehicle after a collisionmay be difficult. To help avoid or mitigate theeffect of a secondary collision, the brakes areapplied automatically to help bring the vehicle toa stop.
The brake lights and hazard warning flashers willbe activated and the flashers will remain on afterthe vehicle has come to a standstill. The parkingbrake will then be applied automatically.
In a situation where stopping the vehicle may notbe desirable, the driver can override this systemby pressing the accelerator pedal.
This feature can only function if the brake systemis intact after the collision.

•Rear Collision Warning (RCW) (p. 338)
Emergency brake lights
The emergency brake lights activate in the eventof hard braking/rapid deceleration at most nor-mal driving speeds or if the ABS system is acti-vated. This function causes an additional taillighton each side of the vehicle to illuminate to helpalert vehicles traveling behind.
Once the emergency brake lights have been acti-vated, if the driver releases the brake pedal, thebrake lights will return to their normal function.

Hill Descent Control (HDC)
HDC is a type of low-speed automatic enginebrake and makes it possible to increase ordecrease the vehicle's speed on steep downhillgradients using only the accelerator pedal, with-out applying the brakes.
HDC is integrated into the Off Road drivemode.
HDC is particularly useful when driving downsteep hills with rough surfaces, and where theroad may have slippery patches.
WARNING
HDC does not function in all situations, and isa supplementary braking aid. The driver hasfull responsibility for driving in a safe manner.
Function
HDC allows the vehicle to roll forward or inreverse at very low speed with enhanced enginebraking. However, speed can be adjusted withthe accelerator pedal. When the acceleratorpedal is released, the vehicle will return to verylow speed.
The driver can use the brakes to slow or stop thevehicle at any time.
HDC is activated along with Low Speed Control(LSC), which together make driving on slipperysurfaces at low speeds easier.
