switch has an LED icon, which offers feedback to the driver
about the state HDC is in.

remain on solid when HDC is enabled or activated. This
is the normal operating condition for HDC.
• The cluster icon and switch lamp will flash for several
seconds then extinguish when the driver pushes the
HDC switch but enable conditions are not met.
• The cluster icon and switch lamp will flash for several
seconds then extinguish when HDC disables due to
excess speed.

When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning light will
momentarily illuminate in both outside rearview mirrors
