active, HDC is overridden and the brakes will
perform as normal (a pulsation might be felt
through the brake pedal). If the brake pedal is
then released, HDC will recommence operating
at a reduced speed.
In extreme circumstances, the HDC system
may cause brake temperatures to exceed their
pre-set limits. If this occurs, ‘HDC TEMP. NOT
AVAIL.’ will be displayed in the message center.
HDC will then fade out (warning light flashes)
and then become temporarily inactive. HDC will
not be available until the brakes reach an
acceptable temperature, at which time the
warning message will disappear from the
message center and HDC will, if required,
resume operating.
If HDC is selected and the operating conditions
are met, the light will illuminate continuously.
If the light flashes while HDC is active, normal
functionality may cease and HDC ‘fade out’ may
be induced.
If a fault is detected in the HDC system, ‘HDC
INACTIVE’ will appear in the display. Do not
attempt a steep descent when HDC is
unavailable. If a fault has been detected, consult
your retailer at the earliest opportunity.
HDC fade-out
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 for the period that
HDC takes to fade. HDC will be disabled
completely once the descent is complete.
If required (e.g. the angle of the descent levels
out significantly), fade-out may be achieved
deliberately by deselecting HDC while the
system is operating.
If a fault with the HDC system is detected, or if
the braking system exceeds a pre-set
temperature due to extreme conditions, HDC
will automatically fade out.
