When additional braking is required on steep downhill roads, activate the hill descent control system by pushing the hill descent control switch on.
When the hill descent control system is activated, the hill descent control system on indicator light (1) and the hill descent control system on indicator light on the meter will illuminate. (See
.) Also, the brake/tail lights illuminate while the hill descent control system is applying the brakes to control the vehicle speed.To activate the hill descent control system, satisfy all of the following conditions:
Shift the transmission to the forward or reverse gear.
Turn the Drive Mode Selector to the [OFF-ROAD] or [SNOW] mode and drive the vehicle at a speed under 30 km/h (19 MPH) (4WD models).
Push the hill descent control switch to the ON position.
If the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed while the hill descent control system is on, the system will stop operating temporarily. As soon as the accelerator or brake pedal is released, the hill descent control system begins to function again if the hill descent control operating conditions are fulfilled.
The hill descent control system on indicator light blinks if the hill descent control switch is on and all conditions for system activation are not met, or if the system becomes disengaged for any reason.
To turn off the hill descent control system, push the hill descent control switch to the OFF position.
