Driving HILL DECENT CONTROL WARNING: Hill descent control 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 allows the driver to set and maintain vehicle speed while descending steep grades regardless of surface conditions. 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. 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 information display screen 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 center 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. 14 2013 F-150 (f12) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
