HDC Mode

The HDC mode assists the ABS in controlling the descent of the vehicle in either 1st gear ratio or reverse gear ratio. HDC mode is initiated by selecting 1 or R on the selector lever, depressing the HDC button adjacent to the selector lever and throttle pedal released (low demand position). The instrument pack illuminates the HDC warning lamp and the LCD will display the selected gear (1 or R).

The EAT ECU will maintain the selected gear ratio and apply engine braking to assist the ABS in controlling the vehicle's descent.
