depress the brake pedal.
The system operates under the following conditions.
• Driving at a speed between about 2-12 mph (3-20 km/h).
• Driving downhill.
• Accelerator pedal and brake pedal are not depressed.

1Hill Descent Control System
The brake lights automati cally come on while the
system is in operation.
The system may not operate when driving down a
gentle slope. Check the Hill Descent Control System
indicator to see if the system is in operation.
The system may activate even when not driving
downhill, such as when the vehicle leans while
driving over uneven surfaces.
3WARNING
Hill descent control cannot maintain a
constant vehicle speed in every situation.
When driving down a very steep hill or on
slippery road surfaces, the vehicle may not
be able to maintain the vehicle speed and
could cause a crash, resulting in serious
injury or death.
Since Hill Descent Control is not designed
to increase the limits of vehicle
performance, the driver must always be
aware of road surface conditions and drive
safely.
