maintain vehicle speed while descending steep grades

in a variety of road conditions. To enable, press the

hill descent button. A light in the cluster will illuminate

and a chime will sound.

To increase descent speed, press the accelerator pedal

until the desired speed is reached.

To decrease speed, press the brake pedal until the

desired speed is reached.

Note: Hill descent control requires a cooling down interval

aer sustained use. The amount of time that the feature

can remain active before cooling varies with conditions.

The system will provide a warning in the information

display and a chime will sound when the system is about

to disengage for cooling. At this time, manually apply the

brakes as needed to maintain descent speed.
