Hill Descent Assist

This feature works with your vehicle’s existing braking systems to block you from going past a certain speed while travelling downhill or on unsteady terrain.

In automatic or drive-by-wire vehicles such as electric or hybrid, it may reduce available power to the wheels.

If your car begins accelerating past a safe downhill speed, this feature will further apply the brakes.

Typically used in conjunction with traction control, especially when driving off road.
