Hill descent control (HDC)

Hill descent control holds the car at a slow, steady speed down a steep slope by braking the wheels automatically, so you can concentrate on steering. You switch it on with a button and it works only at low speeds: 4 to 40 km/h on the Kia Carens, where it is called Downhill Brake Control.
