Driving Hill descent mode Hill descent allows the driver to set and maintain vehicle speed while descending steep grades regardless of surface conditions. Refer to Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter of your Owner's Guide for hill-descent related messages. Hill descent control can maintain vehicle speeds on downhill grades between 2 and 20 mph (3 and 32 km/h). Between 20 and 40 mph (32 and 64 km/h), the system remains enabled, but descent speed cannot be set or maintained. If vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64 km/h), the system is disabled. After this point, vehicle speed must drop below 40 mph (64 km/h), and the hill descent control button must be pressed again to engage the feature. WARNING: Hill descent mode does not provide hill hold at zero mph (0 km/h). When stopped, the parking brake must be applied and/or the vehicle must be placed in P (Park) or it may roll away. Hill descent control requires a cooling down interval after a period of sustained use. The amount of time that the feature can remain active before cooling varies with conditions. The system will provide a warning in the message center and a chime will sound when the system is about to disengage for cooling. At this time, manually apply the brakes as needed to maintain descent speed. Enabling hill descent control and setting the descent speed 1. Press and release the hill descent button located on the floor console. A light on the button will illuminate and a one second chime will sound when this feature is activated. 2. To increase descent speed, press the accelerator pedal until the desired speed is reached. 3. To decrease descent speed, press the brake pedal until the desired speed is reached. Whether accelerating or decelerating, once the desired descent speed is reached, remove your feet from the pedals and the chosen vehicle speed will be maintained. See Message center in the Instrument Cluster chapter of your Owner's Guide for hill descent mode messages. 12 2011 F-150 (f12) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)

Hill descent mode
Hill descent allows the driver to set and maintain vehicle speed while
descending steep grades regardless of surface conditions. Refer to
Message center
in the
Instrument Cluster
chapter of your
Owner’s
Guide
for hill-descent related messages.
Hill descent control can maintain vehicle speeds on downhill grades
between 2 and 20 mph (3 and 32 km/h). Between 20 and 40 mph (32
and 64 km/h), the system remains enabled, but descent speed cannot be
set or maintained. If vehicle speed is above 40 mph (64 km/h), the
system is disabled. After this point, vehicle speed must drop below
40 mph (64 km/h), and the hill descent control button must be pressed
again to engage the feature.
WARNING:
Hill descent mode does not provide hill hold at zero
mph (0 km/h). When stopped, the parking brake must be applied
and/or the vehicle must be placed in P (Park) or it may roll away.
Hill descent control requires a cooling down interval after a period of
sustained use. The amount of time that the feature can remain active
before cooling varies with conditions. The system will provide a warning
in the message center and a chime will sound when the system is about
to disengage for cooling. At this time, manually apply the brakes as
needed to maintain descent speed.
Enabling hill descent control and setting the descent speed
1. Press and release the hill descent
button located on the floor console.
A light on the button will illuminate
and a one second chime will sound
when this feature is activated.
2. To increase descent speed, press the accelerator pedal until the
desired speed is reached.
3. To decrease descent speed, press the brake pedal until the desired
speed is reached.
Whether accelerating or decelerating, once the desired descent speed is
reached, remove your feet from the pedals and the chosen vehicle speed
will be maintained.
