Principle
Descent combined effect of binding engine braking to the ABS braking system of the vehicle at the next steep maintained at low vehicle speed, but without loss of tire grip state. When the vehicle enters the hill descent mode, the engine using the force of containment can provide a considerable degree of deceleration effect and do not cause tire locking. When the slope is too large, lack of engine diversionary force to maintain the speed limit, then the aid of ABS braking system, gradually reduce speed.
