Downhill Brake Control assists the driver to descend down a steep hill without having to depress the brake pedal.
The system automatically applies the brakes to maintain vehicle speed below a certain speed and allows the driver to concentrate on steering the vehicle down hill.
The system is turned off whenever the engine is turned off.
Press the button to turn on the system and press the button again to turn it off.
