Hill Descent Control  Press and release the hill descent button on the instrument panel. A light in the cluster illuminates and a tone sounds when this feature is activated.
To increase descent speed, press the accelerator pedal until the desired speed is reached. To decrease descent speed, press the brake pedal until the desired speed is reached.
Whether accelerating or decelerating, once the desired descent speed is reached, remove your feet from the pedals and the chosen vehicle speed is maintained.
Note:   Noise from the ABS pump motor may be observed during hill descent control operation. This is a normal characteristic of the ABS and should be no reason for concern.
