WHAT IS HILL DESCENT CONTROL
Hill descent control allows the driver to set
and maintain vehicle speed while
descending steep slopes in various surface
conditions.
HOW DOES HILL DESCENT
CONTROL WORK
Hill descent control can maintain vehicle
speeds on downhill slopes between
2–20 mph (3–32 km/h). Above 20 mph
(32 km/h), the system remains on but the
descent speed cannot be set or maintained.
Note: The system does not function below
2 mph (3 km/h)
.
The system requires a cool down interval
after a period of sustained use. Hill descent
control provides a warning in the message
center and a tone sounds when the system
is about to disengage for cooling. At this
time, manually apply the brakes as needed
to maintain descent speed. Note:
The amount of time that the system
can remain active before cooling varies with
conditions.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
The system does not
control speed in low traction conditions or
extremely steep slopes. The system is
designed to be an aid and does not relieve
you of your responsibility to drive with due
care and attention. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury. WARNING:
Hill descent control
cannot control descent in all surface
conditions and circumstances, such as ice
or extremely steep grades. Hill descent
control is a driver assist system and cannot
substitute for good judgment by the driver.
Failure to do so may result in loss of
vehicle control, crash or serious injury. WARNING:
The system does not
replace the parking brake. When you leave
your vehicle, always apply the parking
brake and shift the transmission into park
(P) for automatic transmission or first gear
for manual transmission.
SWITCHING HILL DESCENT
CONTROL ON AND OFF Press the button on the instrument
panel. A light illuminates and a
tone sounds when the system is
active.
SETTING THE HILL DESCENT
SPEED
To increase or decrease the descent speed,
press the accelerator or brake pedal, or use
the SET + and SET - buttons on the steering
wheel. Once you reach the preferred speed
remove your feet from the pedals.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: The electric power
steering system has diagnostic checks that
continuously monitor the system. If a fault
is detected, a message displays in the
information display. Stop your vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so. Switch the
vehicle off. After at least 10 seconds, switch
the vehicle on and watch the information
display for a steering system warning
message. If a steering system warning
message returns, have the system checked
as soon as possible. WARNING:
If the system detects an
error, you may not feel a difference in the
steering, however a serious condition may
exist. Have your vehicle checked as soon
as possible. Failure to do so may result in
loss of steering control. Adapt your speed and driving behavior
according to reduced steering assist.
Extreme continuous steering may increase
the effort to steer. This occurs to prevent
internal overheating and damage to the
steering system. If this occurs, you will not
lose the ability to steer your vehicle manually
nor will it cause damage to the system.
Normal steering and driving allows the
system to cool down and steering assist
returns to normal.
Note:
There is no fluid reservoir to check or
fill.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING
ADAPTIVE STEERING
(If Equipped)
The adaptive steering system changes the
steering ratio with changes to vehicle speed,
optimizing the steering response in all
conditions. The system also changes when
you switch on the transmission tow/haul
feature. When you select the tow/haul button,
the adaptive steering system reduces vehicle
sensitivity to steering inputs at higher vehicle
speeds, while maintaining the ease of
parking and maneuverability at low speeds. Note:
The adaptive steering system
continuously monitors for faults. If the system
detects a fault, a message appears in the
information display. If a red warning
message displays, stop your vehicle as soon
as it is safe to do so. The message could
clear if the fault is no longer present. If an
adaptive steering system warning message
appears each time you start your vehicle,
have the system checked as soon as
possible.
Note: The system has a locking device. It
remains mechanically locked at a fixed
steering ratio with the lock engaged. You
may notice a click when you turn your
vehicle on or off.
Note: If your vehicle loses electrical power
or detects a fault when you are driving, the
system shuts down and you retain a normal
steering function with a fixed steering ratio.
During this time, it is possible that the
steering wheel could not be straight when
the vehicle is driving straight ahead. In
addition, you could notice that the steering
wheel angle required to steer your vehicle
could be different.
