Always drive carefully when using the hill descent control system and decel- erate the vehicle speed by depressing the brake pedal if necessary. Be espe- cially careful when driving on frozen, muddy or extremely steep downhill roads. Failure to control vehicle speed may result in a loss of control of the vehicle and possible serious injury or death. 2-34 Instruments and controls c The hill descent control may not control the vehicle speed on a hill under all load or road conditions. Always be prepared to depress the brake pedal to control vehicle speed. Failure to do so may re- sult in a collision or serious personal injury. CAUTION When the hill descent control system op- erates continuously for a long time, the temperature of the brake pads may in- crease and the hill descent control system may be temporarily disabled (the indicator light will blink). If the indicator light does not come on continuously after blinking, stop using the system. The hill descent control system is designed to reduce driver workload when going down steep hills. The hill descent control system helps to control vehicle speed so the driver can concen- trate on steering the vehicle. To activate the hill descent control system: c the automatic transmission selector lever must be in forward or reverse gear, c the 4WD switch must be in the 4L position and the vehicle speed must be under 15 mph (25 km/h) or c the 4WD switch must be in the 4H position and the vehicle speed must be under 21 mph (35 km/h), and c the hill descent control system switch must be ON. The hill descent control indicator light will come on when the system is activated. Also, the stop/tail lights illuminate while the hill descent control system applies the brakes to control ve- hicle speed. If the accelerator or brake pedal is depressed while the hill descent control system is on, the system will stop operating temporarily. As soon as the accelerator or brake pedal is released, the hill descent control system begins to function again if the hill descent control operating condi- tions are fulfilled. The hill descent control indicator light blinks if the switch is on and all conditions for system activa- tion are not met or if the system becomes disen- gaged for any reason. To turn off the hill descent control system, push the switch to the OFF position. For additional information, see (cid:147)Hill descent con- trol system on indicator light(cid:148) earlier in this sec- tion and (cid:147)Hill descent control system(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Starting and driving(cid:148) section of this manual.
