1st, 2nd and reverse for 2007 GS as well. You’ll get the wheel display when you engage ggs, mr or sand. |

On my 2009 GS it says the HDC is not available in this gear when I'm in second, but it still works! |

Odd that on my 07 GS HDC only works on 1st gear - flashes warning if in second and the + and minus buttons do not work - they must have upgraded that after 07. The important point is that the HDC even in 1st is simply too fast for tricky descents - the gearing is not low enough to restrain the beast at a slow enough speed and the brakes are having to work far too hard. Often when you really need HDC you should be inching down. I would have done without all that electronic doh- dah for low range cogs. |

Lets be clear about the green HDC warning light on the dash.

All it’s doing is applying the brakes and these should hopefully work in neutral! I’ve posed the question on the other thread about its effectiveness after a stall, with ignition on but no brake servo and hope someone comes back with an explanation! 2005 D3 2.7 Auto
