How to Use Hill Descent Control?
1 Answers
Hill Descent Control (HDC) utilizes the mechanical rotational friction of transmission gears to reduce vehicle speed when descending slopes. This system activates automatically. Below are the key features: 1. The HDC system enhances controllability on steep slopes by applying brief braking force to the front axle, complementing engine braking. 2. When any wheel loses traction, the system employs anti-lock strategies to restore traction. Each low gear in the system is preset with a target descent speed. 3. During steep descents, HDC continuously compares actual vehicle speed with the predetermined target speed, applying braking force whenever necessary to maintain the target speed.
