Why is the Hill Descent Assist Light On?

[Candice]

Hill Descent Assist light may illuminate if the clutch switch has been disconnected previously, and clearing the fault code should resolve the issue. The Hill Descent Control system operates similarly to engine braking, aiming to prevent excessive load on the braking system and reduce driver workload. Under conditions where the vehicle speed is between 5 to 25 kilometers per hour and the DAC switch is activated, without pressing the accelerator or brake pedal, the Hill Descent Control system can automatically maintain an appropriate speed. When the Hill Descent Control system is active, the parking lights will automatically illuminate. The DAC system enables the vehicle to maintain a constant low speed, preventing wheel lock-up, while significantly reducing vibrations when descending on uneven terrain, thereby ensuring driving stability and enhancing ride comfort.
