Downhill brake control (DBC)
(if equipped)
The Downhill Brake Control (DBC) sup-
ports the driver come down a steep hill
without the driver depressing the brake
pedal. It slows down the vehicle under 8
km/h (5 mph) and lets the driver concen-
trate on steering the vehicle.
Standby
Press the DBC button when the vehicle speed
is under 40 km/h (25 mph). The DBC system
will turn ON and enter the standby mode.
The system does not turn ON if the vehicle
speed is over 40km/h (25 mph).
In the standby mode, if the vehicle speed is
under 35 km/h (22 mph) while driving down a
steep hill, the DBC will activate automatically.
In the activated mode, the DBC will temporarily
deactivate under the following conditions:
• The hill is not steep enough.
• The brake pedal or accelerator pedal is depressed.
If the above conditions are gone, the DBC will
automatically activate again.
The DBC will turn OFF under the following con-
ditions:
