What’s the Benefit?
When driving down hills steep enough that engine braking won’t slow the vehicle, hill descent control can maintain a constant speed without the need to push on the brake pedal.
The Feature:
Hill descent control is standard on every HR-V trim.
The system can be engaged by pushing the console-mounted button when driving downhill at less than 12 mph.
The speed at which the button was pushed will be maintained by the system.
The set speed can be adjusted by pressing and releasing the accelerator or brake pedal.
When the console-mounted button is pushed again or the vehicle speed exceeds 37 mph, the system will turn off.
