cally switch off when the vehicle stops or is

fic lights. The ignition remains switched on
during the stopping phase. The engine auto-
matically switches back on when required. In

arting the descent of a sl
ope below
30 km/h (18 mph), speed is limited to a mini-
mum of 2 km/h (1 mph) and a maximum of
30 km/h (18 mph). When appropriate, the
driver may increase or decrease the speed
within the limit by pressing the accelerator or
the brake. At this point the function is interrup-
ted and, if necessary, it is then reactivated.
Even so, it is imperative that the surface guar-
antees sufficient adhesion. For this reason,
the Hill Descent Control will not fulfil its func-
tion when, for example, descending a slope
with a frozen or slippery surface.
Hill Descent Control is available when the
dash panel display shows the message k.
