Hill Descent Control (HDC)
Deactivating ACC or Variable Speed Limiter
Warning: Hill Descent Control is an aid only and does not
replace the need for driver awareness. It is the driver's
responsibility to be aware of their surroundings. Always
make sure that there is a suitable distance to the side of your
vehicle for other road users and obstacles.
Press the CAN button (3) to deactivate ACC or variable speed
limiter.
The ACC and variable speed limiter set speeds will also be
cleared when the ignition is set to OFF.
ACC will automatically deactivate when:
Warning: If there is a difference in speed between the set
speed and actual speed when HDC is activated on a slippery
road surface, it is possible the wheels can lose traction. This
can increase the risk of the vehicle skidding and having an
accident. Be aware of the road surface conditions before
activating the HDC system.
• The brake pedal is pressed.
• The park brake is applied.
• Vehicle speed drops below 20 km/h (13 mph).
• Neutral, Park or Reverse gear positions are selected.
• The traction control system is activated.
• The variable speed limiter system is activated.
• A fault occurs in the ACC system. The system will not operate
until the fault is cleared.
Active Cruise Control and Active Brake Assist are disabled
when HDC is active.
HDC is intended to be used with All-Season tires (Refer to ’All
Season Tires’, page 11.18).
Hill Descent Control (HDC) uses the ABS system to control the
speed of the vehicle on downhill roads and terrain. The braking
effect used by the HDC system increase as the downhill gradient
becomes steeper. HDC will only operate with the transmission in
D (Drive), R (Reverse) and only in GT, Terrain and Terrain+
modes.
