HDC (Steep Hills vs Steep Short Drops)
Hi folks,
someone seriously must clear-up this issue for me, I've been doing a lot of 'green laning'(?) lately and have found that HDC is not practical for sharp gradients of less then 1-2 metres, as it takes this amount of time (in speed) for the service to action kick-in.
Yesterday I was driving on small area of grass where their is a suddent drop, I'd say the drop from top to bottom is about 4-5 metres, as I 'went over' I felt as if HDC would not kick in so used the brake manually.
I wanna go back and try it with HDC, someone mentioned that it's a good idea to give a little gas just before going over and let it kick in somewhat earlier. But my question is, is HDC designed for this situation, or is it just for long hills, where the drop is over a long scale (does that make sense) as opposed to smaller drops (with a strong gradient)?
