Feedback to the driver:
The instrument cluster has an HDC icon and the HDC

switch has an LED which offer feedback to the driver

about the state HDC is in.

• The cluster icon and switch lamp will illuminate and

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 presses the

HDC switch when the enable conditions have not been

met.

• The cluster icon and switch lamp will flash for several

seconds then extinguish when HDC deactivates due to

excess speed.

• The cluster icon and switch lamp will flash when HDC

deactivates due to overheated brakes. The flashing will

stop and HDC will activate again once the brakes have

cooled sufficiently.

The Hill Descent Switch is located within the Selec-

Terrain knob in the upper right position.

WARNING!

HDC is only intended to assist the driver in control-
ling vehicle speed when descending hills. The driver
must remain attentive to the driving conditions and
is responsible for maintaining a safe vehicle speed.
