Activating hill descent control

Hill descent control can help you with speed control during steep downhill driving.

By activating hill descent control1, your car can brake in a more controlled and active way. This can be useful if you are driving downhill, as it can help you avoid unwanted acceleration. Along with more controlled braking, HDC changes the feel of the accelerator pedal to improve control and traction on slippery surfaces.

You can activate HDC in drive settings.

Hill descent control availability is indicated with the hill descent symbol in the driver display. The symbol turns green when HDC is active.

 Note

Hill descent control is only available at speeds below 40 km/h (25 mph). If you drive faster than this, the function will be deactivated.

Press the car symbol in the bottom bar and go to Drive.

Go to Hill descent control.

Activate hill descent.
