Control de pendientes

(Opción/accesorio.)

The function for assisting when driving downhill (HDC¹) is a low-speed function with increased engine braking. The function makes it possible to increase or decrease the vehicle's speed on steep downhill gradients by only using the accelerator pedal, without applying the brakes.

En vehículos equipados con control del modo de conducción *, la función está incluida en el modo de conducción Todoterreno.

HDC is designed for driving on rough roads at low speeds and downhill gradients with slippery or otherwise difficult road surfaces. The driver does not need to use the brake pedal but can instead focus on steering.

Función

El control de descenso en pendientes permite que el vehículo avance o retroceda a velocidades muy bajas con ayuda del sistema de frenos. El conductor puede aumentar la velocidad pisando el pedal del acelerador. Al soltar el pedal del acelerador, el vehículo volverá a una velocidad muy baja independientemente de la pendiente y sin necesidad de aplicar los frenos. Las luces de freno se encenderán cuando la función esté activada.

The driver can brake to stop or slow the vehicle at any time by depressing the brake pedal.

HDC is activated along with Low Speed Control (LSC²), which facilitates and improves traction and control on rough and slippery surfaces. The system is intended to be used at low speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h.

Tenga en cuenta al usar HDC

• If the function is switched off while driving on a steep downhill gradient, braking effect will be gradually reduced.
• HDC can be used in gear positions D and R, and in manual gears 1 or 2.
• It is not possible to manually shift to third gear or higher when HDC is active.

NOTA

When LSC with HDC is activated, the feel of the accelerator pedal and engine response will change.

NOTA

Este modo de conducción no está diseñado para su uso en la conducción urbana normal.

NOTA

The function is deactivated when driving at high speeds and must be reactivated at lower speeds if so desired.
