The hill descent control may not control

the vehicle speed on a hill under all load
or road conditions. Always be prepared
to depress the brake pedal to control
vehicle speed. Failure to do so may re-
sult in a collision or serious personal
injury.

CAUTION

When the hill descent control system op-
erates continuously for a long time, the
temperature of the brake pads may in-
crease and the hill descent control system
may be temporarily disabled (the indicator
light will blink). If the indicator light does
not come on continuously after blinking,
stop using the system.

The hill descent control system is designed to
reduce driver workload when going down steep
hills. The hill descent control system helps to
control vehicle speed so the driver can concen-
trate on steering the vehicle.

To activate the hill descent control system:

● activate the AWD LOCK switch,
● the transmission shift lever must be in for-

ward or reverse gear,

● the hill descent control system switch must

be ON.

The vehicle speed must be kept below 15 MPH
(25 km/h).

The hill descent control indicator light will come
on when the system is activated. Also, the
stop/tail lights illuminate while the hill descent
control system applies the brakes to control ve-
hicle speed.

If the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed
while the hill descent control system is on, the
system will stop operating temporarily. As soon
as the accelerator or brake pedal is released, the
hill descent control system begins to function
again if the hill descent control operating condi-
tions are fulfilled.

The hill descent control indicator light blinks if the
switch is on and all conditions for system activa-
tion are not met or if the system becomes disen-
gaged for any reason.

To turn off the hill descent control system, push
the switch to the OFF position.

For additional information, refer to “Hill descent
control system on indicator light” in this section
and “Hill descent control system” in the “Starting
and driving” section of this manual.

The warning systems switch is used to turn on
and off the warning systems (Lane Departure
Warning (LDW), Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW) systems)
that are activated using the settings menu on the
vehicle information display.

When the warning systems switch is turned off,
the indicator

on the switch is off. The indicator

will also be off if all of the warning systems are
deactivated using the settings menu.

The LDW system will sound a warning chime and
blink the LDW indicator light (orange) to alert the
driver if the vehicle is traveling close to either the
left or the right of a traveling lane with detectable
