Cupra White Indicator Lights - Hill Descent Control (HDC) Indicator Light
It lights up white. Hill Descent Control is active.
It lights up grey. Hill Descent Control is not active. The system is switched on, but is not adjusting.
After starting the descent of a slope below 30 km/h (18 mph), speed is limited to a minimum of 2 km/h (1 mph) and a maximum of 30 km/h (18 mph). When appropriate, the driver may increase or decrease the speed within the limit by pressing the accelerator or the brake. At this point the function is interrupted and, if necessary, it is then reactivated.
Even so, it is imperative that the surface guarantees sufficient adhesion. For this reason, the Hill Descent Control will not fulfil its function when, for example, descending a slope with a frozen or slippery surface.
Hill Descent Control is available when the dash panel display shows the message
Hill Descent Control automatically intervenes if the following conditions are met:
- The vehicle engine is running.
- The Offroad driving profile has been selected. Driving at a speed below 30 km/h (18 mph) (the message is shown on the dash panel display).
- The slope of the descent is at least 10% when driving forward and 9% when driving in reverse.
- The brake and the accelerator are not pressed.
Hill Descent Control is deactivated on pressing the brake and the accelerator or if the slope is below 5%.
