166 SAFETY
HDC has three states:
1. Off (feature is not enabled and will not activate).
2. Enabled (feature is enabled and ready but activation
conditions are not met, or driver is actively overriding
with brake or throttle application).
3. Active (feature is enabled and actively controlling vehicle
speed).
Enabling HDC
HDC is enabled by pushing the HDC switch, but the
following conditions must also be met to enable HDC:
• Driveline is in 4L Range.
• Vehicle speed is below 7.5 mph (12 km/h).
• Electric Park Brake (EPB) is released.
• Driver’s door is closed.
Activating HDC
Once HDC is enabled, it will activate automatically if driven
down a grade of sufficient magnitude (greater than approxi-
mately 8%). The set speed for HDC is selectable by the driver
and can be adjusted using brake and throttle input.
Driver Override:
The driver may override HDC activation with throttle or
brake application at anytime.
Deactivating HDC
HDC will be deactivated but remain available if any of the
following conditions occur:
• Driver overrides HDC set speed with throttle or brake
application.
• Vehicle speed exceeds 7.5 mph (12 km/h) but remains
below 25 mph (40 km/h).
• Vehicle is on a downhill grade of insufficient magnitude
(less than approximately 8%), is on level ground, or is on
an uphill grade.
• Vehicle is shifted to PARK (P).
