That would be scary. I have noticed that the button is a push and hold button. You have to have it depressed for a second or two before it engages. Probably precisely for that reason.jwc3 said:I forgot to mention one thing that the off-road instructor said he does NOT like about the vehicle. Hill Decent Control is active ALL THE TIME. So, if you're on the highway going 80 and someone presses the button, or something falls on the button and activates it, the car will instantly slow to HDC speed. (I think it's 5 mph.)
Our instructor said he learned this one the hard way. The car practically stood on its nose. Fortunately there wasn't anyone behind them when the button was hit, otherwise they would have been rear-ended on the highway.
For the record I JUST tried HDC @ 55mph and msg center said I was too fast to engage HDC so I slowed down until HDC lamp came on but no earth shattering events took place so I'd better have my dealer check it outjwc3 said:I forgot to mention one thing that the off-road instructor said he does NOT like about the vehicle.
