The Downhill Brake Control (DBC)
assists the driver when descending a
steep hill without the driver depress-
ing the brake pedal.It slows the vehi-
cle to under approximately 6.3 mph
(10 km/h) and lets the driver concen-
trate on steering the vehicle.

WARNING
• The Vehicle Stability
Management system is not a
substitute for safe driving
practices but a supplemen-
tary function only. It is the
responsibility of the driver to
always check the speed and
the distance to the vehicle
ahead. Always hold the steer-
ing wheel firmly while driving.
• Your vehicle is designed to
operate according to the dri-
ver's input through steering,
acceleration, and braking,
even with the VSM opera-
tional. Always follow all the
normal precautions for driv-
ing at safe speeds for the con-
ditions - including driving in
inclement weather and on a
slippery road.
• Driving with varying tire or
wheel sizes may cause the
VSM system to malfunction.
When replacing tires, make
sure they are the same size as
your original tires.
