HILL DESCENT CONTROLF
PARK GRADE HOLD ASSIST
Hill Descent Control sets and maintains vehicle speed from 1–14 mph while descending a steep incline in a forward or reverse gear.
1. Press the Hill Descent Control button on the center of the instrument panel. Vehicle speed must be below 31 mph to enable the system. The Hill Descent Control symbol will illuminate on the instrument cluster.
2. Increase or decrease speed by applying the accelerator or brake pedal or use the Cruise Control +/– buttons on the steering wheel. The adjusted speed becomes the new set speed. The symbol flashes when the system is actively applying the brakes to maintain vehicle speed.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.
Park Grade Hold Assist enhances hill hold by using braking effort at all four wheels to help keep the truck in place for an extended length of time.
See Driving and Operating in your Owner’s Manual.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR
The Low Tire Pressure warning light on the instrument cluster illuminates when one or more of the vehicle’s tires is significantly underinflated. Fill the tires to the proper tire pressures listed on the Tire and Loading Information label, located below the driver’s door latch. Current tire pressures can be viewed on the Driver Information Center.
With the ignition On or in Accessory mode, the Tire Fill Alert will provide visual and
audible alerts when the Low Tire Pressure warning light is on to help with inflating a tire to the recommended tire pressure (does not apply to spare tire). When the recom-mended pressure is reached, the horn sounds and the turn signals change from flashing to solid.
