HDC Hill Descent Control
The concept
Activating HDC
HDC is a system for driving downhill in steep
terrain. This system reduces vehicle speed on
steep downhill gradients, thus allowing you to
maintain even better control of your BMW
under these conditions. The vehicle moves at
approximately walking speed without active
intervention from the driver.
HDC is available for activation at vehicle speeds
below approx. 22 mph/35 km/h. When driving
down steep hills with a speed below approx.
Press the button; the LED lights up.
The HDC display is shown in the instrument
panel.
22
mph/35 km/h, the vehicle reduces speed
automatically down to approximately walking
speed, approx. 5 mph/8 km/h, and then main-
tains this speed at a constant.
The LED flashes when the brakes are applied
automatically.
Deactivating HDC
Only use HDC in transmission positions D or R.
Press the button again. The LED and the HDC
display go out.
Increasing or reducing speed
You can use the accelerator or brakes to vary
this automatically controlled speed within a
range extending from approx. 4 mph/6 km/h to
HDC is automatically deactivated at speeds
over approx. 37 mph/60 km/h.
