Hill Descent Control

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 Passport 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.
