Hill descent control allows the driver to setand maintain vehicle speed whiledescending steep slopes in various surfaceconditions.
HOW DOES HILL DESCENT
CONTROL WORK
Hill descent control can maintain vehiclespeeds on downhill slopes between2–20 mph (3–32 km/h). Above 20 mph(32 km/h), the system remains on but thedescent speed cannot be set ormaintained.
Note:The system does not function below2 mph (3 km/h).
The system requires a cool down intervalafter a period of sustained use. Hill descentcontrol provides a warning in the messagecenter and a tone sounds when the systemis about to disengage for cooling. At thistime, manually apply the brakes as neededto maintain descent speed.
Note:The amount of time that the systemcan remain active before cooling varies withconditions.
HILL DESCENT CONTROL

Note:The adaptive steering systemcontinuously monitors for faults. If thesystem detects a fault, a message appearsin the information display. If a red warningmessage displays, stop your vehicle as soonas it is safe to do so. The message couldclear if the fault is no longer present. If anadaptive steering system warning messageappears each time you start your vehicle,have the system checked as soon aspossible.
Note:The system has a locking device. Itremains mechanically locked at a fixedsteering ratio with the lock engaged. Youmay notice a click when you turn yourvehicle on or off.
Note:If your vehicle loses electrical poweror detects a fault when you are driving, thesystem shuts down and you retain a normalsteering function with a fixed steering ratio.During this time, it is possible that thesteering wheel could not be straight whenthe vehicle is driving straight ahead. Inaddition, you could notice that the steeringwheel angle required to steer your vehiclecould be different.
Note:During parking maneuvers, theadaptive steering system balances the driverworkload for various steering wheel inputsand vehicle loading conditions. Underextreme operating conditions the systemlocking device could engage. This strategyprevents overheating and permanentdamage to the adaptive steering system.Typical steering and driving maneuversallow the system to cool and return tonormal operation.
Adaptive Learning
Adaptive learning helps correct roadirregularities and improves overall handlingand steering. It communicates with thebrake system to help operate advancedstability control and crash avoidancesystems. Additionally, whenever youdisconnect the battery or install a newbattery, you must drive your vehicle a shortdistance before the system relearns thestrategy and reactivates all systems.
