Downhill Brake Control (DBC) assists the driver when descending a steep slope without depressing the brake pedal. It slows the vehicle at speeds below approximately 5 mph (8 km/h) and allows the driver to concentrate on steering the vehicle.

WARNING

Always turn DBC off on ordinary roads. DBC may activate unintentionally from standby when passing speed bumps or sharp curves.

✽ NOTICE

  • DBC is in the OFF position by default whenever the ignition key is turned to the ON position.
  • Noise or vibration may occur from the brakes when the DBC system is activated.
  • The rear brake lights illuminate when the DBC system is activated.
