HILL DESCENT CONTROL (HDC) SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The HDC system is designed to apply the brakes to help control the speed of the vehicle
and reduce the workload of the driver while descending steep hills. To activate the system:
The AWD Lock switch
1 must be on.
The Hill Descent Control system switch 2
must be ON. To deactivate the Hill Descent
Control system, push the switch
2 to the
OFF position.
The shift lever must be in a forward or reverse gear.
The Hill Descent Control system operates at speeds of 15 MPH (25 km/h) and below.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
HILL START ASSIST (HSA) SYSTEM
The HSA system allows time for the driver to release the brake pedal and apply the
accelerator when the vehicle is parked on a hill. The brakes are applied automatically for 2
seconds after the driver releases the brake pedal.
The Hill Start Assist system will operate automatically under these conditions:
• The shift lever is shifted into a forward or a reverse gear.
• The vehicle is stopped completely on a hill by applying the brake.
The Hill Start Assist system will not operate when the shift lever is in the N (Neutral) or
P (Park) position or on a flat and level road.
For more information, refer to the “Starting and driving (section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) INDICATOR LIGHTS
With the ignition switch in the ON position, the AWD indicator light illuminates
and stays illuminated. The AWD indicator light staying illuminated is a normal
condition and does not indicate a malfunction with the All-Wheel Drive system.
Distribution of torque to the front and rear wheels changes automatically, depending
on the road conditions encountered.
When AWD Lock is selected, both the AWD indicator light and the AWD Lock
light will illuminate.
For more information, refer to the “Instruments and controls (section 2)” and the “Starting and driving
(section 5)” of your Owner’s Manual.
