When driving forward on the descent, the  
speed can be adjusted by the brake or accel-  
erator operation. The system maintains the  
speed for reverse driving on the descent.  
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.
