Driving Techniques
DESCENDING STEEP SLOPES
•
If the vehicle begins to slide, the limits of
adhesion have been reached, and it may be
impossible to maintain the minimum speed
relative to the gear selected. In this case,
HDC may automatically accelerate the
vehicle sufficiently to maintain directional
stability. DO NOT use the accelerator or the
brakes or attempt to change gear. HDC will
automatically slow the vehicle down again
as soon as possible.
•
•
Once the descent has been started, ‘D’ can
be selected in the main gearbox. HDC will
continue to operate and the previously
selected manual ‘gear’ will be retained until
the descent is complete.

Once level ground is reached, the
transmission will automatically select ‘D’ for
the next stage of your journey.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions may cause
the vehicle to roll over.
•
•
Slow the vehicle and select LOW range.
With the transmission in manual
CommandShift mode, change down the
gears to select either ‘1’ or ‘2’, depending on
the severity of the slope, before bringing the
vehicle to a stop at least vehicle length
before the start of the slope.
•
•
Select Hill Descent Control (HDC).
Unless it is necessary to stop the vehicle in
order to negotiate obstructions, DO NOT
touch the brake pedal during the descent -
the engine and HDC will limit the speed,
keeping the vehicle under perfect control
provided the front wheels are rotating.
