What does vehicle hill descent control mean?
1 Answers
Vehicle hill descent control refers to the Hill Descent Control (HDC) system, also known as the slope control system, which is an automatic control system used for downhill driving. Its main function is to maintain a low speed and ensure tire grip when driving on steep downhill roads, allowing the vehicle to safely reach the flat road at the bottom of the slope. When the hill descent control function is activated, it enables the driver to focus on steering without needing to press the brake pedal, ensuring a smooth descent on steep downhill sections. How to use the hill descent control system: Before descending a steep slope, turn on the HDC switch, then release the accelerator and brake pedals. The hill descent control system will automatically engage. However, pressing the brake or accelerator pedal will immediately deactivate the system.
