Rover Evoque
Hill descent control (HDC)
116
Do not attempt a steep descent if HDC
is inoperative or warning messages
are displayed.
1. HDC on/off: HDC can be selected at any
speed, but will only operate at speeds less
than 50 km/h (31 mph).
For vehicles with an automatic gearbox,
the HDC can be used in Drive (D), Reverse
(R) and all the CommandShift™ gears.
When in D, the vehicle will select the most
appropriate gear.
For vehicles with a manual gearbox, the
HDC can be used in 1st, 2nd and reverse
gears.
Note: HDC is automatically selected by
some of the Terrain Response special
programs.
Note: HDC is automatically deselected if
the ignition is switched off for more than 6
hours.
If the system operation criteria have not
been met, the HDC warning lamp will flash
to indicate that the system has been
selected but is not operating. See 46, HILL
DESCENT CONTROL (GREEN).
A graphic will also be displayed in the
Message centre showing the HDC target
speed. When HDC is unable to operate, the
display will be grey. The graphic indicates
the range of target speeds available in the
currently selected gear.
If HDC is deselected while operating, the
warning lamp will extinguish and the
system will fade out, allowing the vehicle's
speed to gradually increase.
If HDC is already selected and the vehicle's
speed exceeds 50 km/h (31 mph), HDC is
suspended. The HDC indicator will flash
and a message will appear in the Message
centre.
If the brake pedal is pressed when HDC is
active, a pulsation might be felt through the
brake pedal. When the brake pedal is
released, HDC will resume.
2. Increase the descent speed: The Cruise
control (+) button will increase the HDC
descent speed in 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
increments. Press and hold the (+) button
for larger incremental increases, up to the
maximum permissible target speed.
Note: Each gear has a predetermined
maximum speed.
Note: The vehicle's speed will only
increase on a slope steep enough to
increase momentum. Use of the (+) switch
may therefore not increase the vehicle's
speed on a gentle slope.
3. Decrease the descent speed: The Cruise
control (-) button will decrease the HDC
descent speed in 1 km/h (0.6 mph)
increments. Press and hold the (-) button
for larger incremental increases, down to
the minimum permissible target speed.
Note: Each gear has a predetermined
minimum speed.
If a fault is detected in the HDC system, HDC
FAULT SYSTEM NOT AVAILABLE will appear in
the Message centre and HDC assistance will
fade out.
If the fault is detected while the system is
operating, HDC assistance will fade out.

as possible.
