Using HDC

HDC allows the car to roll forward at a maximum speed of 10 km/h, and 7 km/h in reverse. However, the accelerator pedal can be used to select any speed that is possible in first or reverse gears. When the accelerator pedal is released, speed is quickly reduced again to 10 km/h or 7 km/h, depending on the gear selected, regardless of the hill's gradient. It is not necessary to apply the brakes.

• The brake lights illuminate automatically when HDC is controlling the vehicle's speed.

• The driver can slow or stop the vehicle at any time by applying the brakes.

HDC is deactivated when:
• The button on the center console is pressed
• A gear higher than first gear is selected
• D is selected on vehicles with an automatic transmission

HDC can be deactivated at any time. If this is done while driving down a steep hill, the system's braking effect will decrease gradually.
