Driving and Operating
The HDC light displays on the instrument
cluster when enabled.
HDC can maintain vehicle speeds between
4 and 30 km/h (3 and 19 mph) on an incline
greater than or equal to a 10% grade.
A blinking HDC light indicates that the
system is actively applying the brakes to
maintain vehicle speed.
When HDC is set, that is the initial set
speed. It can be increased or decreased by
applying the accelerator or brake pedal.
Smaller HDC speed control adjustments are
accomplished using the cruise up or down
buttons. Each tap of the +RES will increase
the set speed by 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph), while
each tap of the SET
–
will decrease the set
speed by 0.8 km/h (0.5 mph). This adjusted
speed becomes the new set speed.
HDC will remain enabled between 30 and
60 km/h (19 and 37 mph), however vehicle
speed cannot be set or maintained in this
range. It will automatically disable if the
vehicle speed is above 80 km/h (50 mph) or
above 60 km/h (37 mph) for at least
30 seconds.

must be pressed again to
re-enable HDC.
When enabled, if the vehicle is at a speed
above 30 km/h (19 mph) and less than
60 km/h (37 mph), a DIC message will
display instructing the driver to reduce
speed for HDC operation.
Cruise control will not function while HDC is
enabled and vehicle speed is below 40 km/h
(25 mph).
Driver Mode Control
Driver Mode Control (DMC) allows the driver
to adjust the overall driving character to
better suit preference or specific driving
scenarios by adjusting multiple sub-system
calibrations simultaneously. Mode
availability is dependent upon vehicle trim
level, region, and optional features.
Transfer Case Knob with Off-Road Mode
Off-Road Mode
Use this mode for off-road recreational
driving at moderate speeds, on grass, gravel,
dirt, unpaved roads, or snow-covered roads.
The accelerator pedal will be more sensitive
to provide finer control of the torque at the
wheels. StabiliTrak/Electroinic Stability
Control (ESC), the Antilock Brake System
(ABS), and the Traction Control System(TCS)
will change for optimal off-road
performance.
