Hill descent control switch
75RM056
(1) Hill descent control switch
To activate the hill descent control system:
1) Shift the gearshift lever into a forward
gear or reverse gear.
2) Push the hill descent control switch (1)
when the vehicle speed is under 25 km/h
(15 mph). The hill descent control indica-
tor on the instrument cluster will come on
and the hill descent control system will be
activated.
When the vehicle speed exceeds about 7
km/h (4 mph) without depressing the
accelerator pedal, the hill descent control
system applies the brakes automatically to
maintain the vehicle speed at about 7 km/h
(4 mph).
• When braking, the brake/tail lights come
on and the ESP
®
warning light blinks.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds about
40 km/h (25 mph), the hill descent con-
trol system stops functioning and the hill
descent control indicator goes off. When
the vehicle slows down below about 25
km/h (16 mph), the hill descent control
system will be activated again and the
hill descent control indicator will come
on.
NOTE:
You may hear a sound coming from the
engine when the hill descent control sys-
tem is activated. This sound is normal and
does not indicate a malfunction.
To turn off the hill descent control system,
push the hill descent control switch and
turn off the hill descent control indicator
light.

WARNING
• When the hill descent control sys-
tem is used continuously for a long
time, the temperature of the brake
system may increase and the hill
descent control system may be
deactivated temporarily to protect
the device of the brake system. The
hill descent control indicator blinks
to let you know the system is deac-
tivated. Depress the brake pedal
and stop the vehicle in a safe place.
When the temperature of the brake
system goes down, the hill descent
control indicator will come on and
the system is activated again.

WARNING

• The hill descent control system
may be activated when the gear-
shift lever is in “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion, but engine braking will not
work. Always use the hill descent
control system with the gearshift
lever in a forward gear or reverse
gear.
• When using the hill descent control
system, push the hill descent con-
trol switch and make sure that the
hill descent control indicator light
comes on and no warning message
indicates on the information dis-
play.
• While operating the hill descent
control system, the dual camera
brake support (if equipped) may
not operate depending on the
accelerating.
