DESCENT CONTROL MODE [G3139351]

WARNING:

Make sure the relevant safety warnings have been read and understood before using adaptive off-road cruise control. See ADAPTIVE OFF-ROAD CRUISE CONTROL SAFETY.

Descent control mode is available when adaptive off-road cruise control is first enabled. Descent control mode attempts to maintain a constant vehicle speed when descending a slope.

To enter descent control mode:

  1. Carefully position the vehicle at the top of a slope.
  2. With the vehicle stationary, press and hold the brake pedal.
  3. Enable adaptive off-road cruise control. See ENABLING ADAPTIVE OFF-ROAD CRUISE CONTROL.
  4. Select an appropriate terrain response program. See TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION.
  5. Select Drive (D).
  6. Release the brake pedal.

Adaptive off-road cruise control takes control of the vehicle’s speed during the descent. The selected terrain response program determines the vehicle’s speed during the descent. The vehicle's speed can be reduced by moving the SET switch on the right side steering wheel controls downward.

Adaptive off-road cruise suspends descent control mode operation if the accelerator pedal is pressed. Descent control mode resumes once the accelerator pedal is no longer being used.

NOTE:

Comfort settings are not available when the vehicle is in descent control mode.
