The concept
HDC is a downhill driving assistant that automatically controls vehicle speed on steep downhill gradients. Without requiring brake application, the vehicle moves at slightly more than twice walking speed.
You can activate the Hill Descent Control at speeds below approx. 22 mph/35 km/h. When driving downhill, the vehicle reduces its speed to approx. twice walking speed and then keeps its speed constant.
While you are actively braking, the system is on standby. The system does not brake the vehicle during this time.

Tire Pressure Monitor TPM
The concept
The tire inflation pressure is measured in the
four mounted tires. The system notifies you if there is a significant loss of
pressure in one or
more tires.

Check the tire inflationpressure regularly
Check and, if necessary, correct the tire inflation
pressure at least twice a month and before starting
on a long trip.
Low tire inflation pressure increases rolling resistance
and thus raises f ...
