Downhill Brake Control (DBC)

ONQ5045044N

The Downhill Brake Control (DBC) feature assists the driver to descend a steep hill without having to depress the brake pedal.

The system automatically applies the brakes to maintain the vehicle speed of 2.5 mph (4 km/h)–25 mph (40 km/h) and allows the driver to concentrate on steering the vehicle down hill.

Always turn off the DBC on normal roads. The DBC might activate inadvertently from the stand by mode when driving through speed bumps or making sharp curves.

TIP

The DBC defaults to the OFF position whenever the ENGINE START/STOP button is placed in the ON position.

Noise or vibration may occur from the brakes when the DBC is activated. The rear stop light comes on when DBC is activated.
