Low Speed Control*
The low-speed function (LSC13) facilitates
and improves control and traction on rough
roads and slippery surfaces, e.g. when towing
a trailer on grass or up boat ramps.
Turn off leveling control before lifting the
vehicle with a jack to help avoid problems
with the pneumatic suspension.

The vehicle can be lowered or raised to make
it easier to load or for passengers to get in
and out.
> When the vehicle is parked and the
engine is turned off, the level is low-
ered. (Level adjustment will stop if a
side door is opened and will resume
after a slight delay when the door has
been closed.) When the engine is
started and the vehicle begins to move,
the level will be raised to the height set
by the selected drive mode.
In vehicles equipped with drive mode con-
trol*, the function is included in the Off Road
drive mode.
Low Speed Control is designed for driving on
rough roads and when towing trailers at low
speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).
Adjusting loading mode
When driving at low speeds, LSC prioritizes
low gears and all-wheel drive to help avoid
wheel spin and improve traction on all wheels.
The accelerator pedal will be less responsive
to improve traction and speed control at low
speeds.
Disable Leveling Control
In certain situations, this function must be
turned off, e.g. before the vehicle is raised
using a jack*. The level difference caused by
raising the vehicle with a jack could cause
problems with the pneumatic suspension.
The function is activated together with Hill
Descent Control (HDC14), which makes it pos-
sible to control speed going down steep hills
using the accelerator pedal and reduces the
need to use the brake pedal. The system
makes it possible to maintain a low and uni-
form speed when driving down steep hills.
Turning off the function in the center display:
Use the buttons in the cargo compartment to
raise or lower the rear section of the vehicle to
facilitate loading or unloading the vehicle or
connecting or disconnecting a trailer.

pedal. When the accelerator pedal is released,
the vehicle will return to very low speed
regardless of how steep the hill is and without
the brakes needing to be applied. The brake
lights will illuminate when the function is acti-
vated.
Hill Descent Control*
The function for assisting when driving down-
hill (HDC15) is a low-speed function with
increased engine braking. The function
makes it possible to increase or decrease the
vehicle's speed on steep downhill gradients
by only using the accelerator pedal, without
applying the brakes.
This drive mode is not designed to be used
for normal street driving.
The driver can brake to stop or slow the vehi-
cle at any time by depressing the brake pedal.
The function is deactivated when driving at
high speeds and must be reactivated at
lower speeds if so desired.
In vehicles equipped with drive mode con-
trol*, the function is included in the Off Road
drive mode.
HDC is designed for driving on rough roads at
low speeds and downhill gradients with slip-
pery or otherwise difficult road surfaces. The
driver does not need to use the brake pedal
but can instead focus on steering.
HDC is activated along with Low Speed Con-
trol (LSC16), which facilitates and improves
traction and control on rough and slippery sur-
faces. The system is intended to be used at
low speeds, up to approximately 40 km/h (25
mph).

WARNING
HDC is only intended to be a supplemen-
tary braking aid and it does not function in
all situations.
HDC can be used in gear positions D and
R, and in manual gears 1 or 2.
•
•
It is not possible to manually shift to third
gear or higher when HDC is active.
The driver is always ultimately responsible
for operating the vehicle in a safe manner.

Hill Descent Control allows the vehicle to
move forward or backward at very low speeds
assisted by the brake system. The driver can
increase the speed by pressing the accelerator
