Hill Descent Control
The function for assisting when driving downhill,
Hill Descent Control (HDC), is a low-speed
function with increased engine braking. The

gradients by only using the accelerator pedal,
without applying the brakes.
In vehicles equipped with drive mode control*,
the function is included in the Off Road drive
mode.

speed by pressing the accelerator pedal. When
the accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle will
