Hill Descent Control
HDC fade-out
HDC ‘failure’ light - AMBER
The light illuminates briefly as a
bulb and system check when the
starter switch is turned to position ‘II’.
HDC fade-out gradually decreases the HDC
brake intervention with the effect that the rate of
hill descent will increase. If this occurs the HDC
information light will flash and the warning
chime will sound for the period that HDC takes
to fade. HDC will be disabled completely once
the descent is complete.
If the light illuminates at any other time, either
a fault has occurred which affects the
functionality of the system, or over-use of the
system has been detected, in which case HDC
may ‘fade out’.
If required (e.g. the angle of the descent levels
out significantly), fade-out may be achieved
deliberately by either:
NOTE: System faults which cause the ‘failure’
light to illuminate after the initial system
checks, or whilst driving, will be accompanied
by the warning chime sounding 3 times.
•
deselecting HDC while the system is
operating.
•
depressing the clutch for longer than 60
seconds.
If a fault with the HDC system is detected, or if
the braking system reaches a pre-set
temperature due to extreme conditions, HDC
will automatically fade out.
Warning lights
HDC information light - GREEN
The light illuminates briefly as a
bulb and system check when the
starter switch is turned to position ‘II’ and also
when HDC is selected.
If HDC is selected when the operating gears
(LOW range) are engaged, the light will
illuminate continuously.
If HDC has been selected but the system's
operating criteria are not met (i.e. clutch pedal
depressed, gearbox still in high range or vehicle
speed too high), the information light will flash
and the warning chime will sound continuously.
If the light flashes while HDC is active, normal
functionality may cease and HDC ‘fade out’ may
be induced.
