Hill Descent Control

Quick question, amd one I'm sure has been asked before but:

Does HDC work in reverse gear?

Thanks

Yes, and in neutral, even with the engine off (as long as the key is in position 2)

Thanks very much -

I take it that it is a simple as pressing the yellow button at the right moment, and letting the car take the strain?

the right moment is before you need it! Select it before tackling the hill or obstacle and don't touch your brake Thumbs Up
