However, the driver can override HDC operation by

applying the brake to slow the vehicle down below the

HDC control speed. If more speed is desired during HDC

control, the accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed in

the usual manner. When either the brake or the accelerator

is released, HDC will control the vehicle at the original set

speed.

Enabling HDC

1. Shift the transfer case into 4WD LOW range. Refer to

“Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in “Starting and Oper-

ating” for further information.

2. Push the “Hill Descent” button. The “Hill Descent

Control Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will

turn on solid.

NOTE:

If the transfer case is not in 4WD LOW range, the “Hill

Descent Control Indicator Light” will flash for five

seconds and HDC will not be enabled.

If the ESC senses that the brakes are overheating the

“Hill Descent Control Indicator Light” will flash for

five seconds and HDC will become deactivated until

the brakes have cooled.

Disabling HDC

Push the “Hill Descent” button or shift the transfer case out

of 4WD LOW range. The “Hill Descent Control Indicator”

light in the instrument cluster will turn off.
