Question about DBS in Telluride

[algallafaisal]

What about the Downhill Brake System (DBS) in Telluride? Is it available? If yes, where can i find its button?

For off-roading there is no downhill descent control on the Telluride.

I saw hill descent button on Palisade, but I don't think that the Telluride has this.

I'm surprised they Hyundai got the option and we didn't

I asked a Client Care Specialist in Southwest Kia, he said: "All models of Tellurides have the Downhill Brake Control, there is no button to activate this feature. It is activated when needed". Acually I didn't understand how the car will determine the need, but that's better than no thing anyway.

It lists Down Hill Brake Control (DBC) here.

It is recommended that engine be off when loading unto a tow truck because the angle sensor will activate the air bags sensing it to be a potential roll over situation.

I would imagine it uses the same angle sensor to determine if you are going up hill (to stop roll back) and down hill (to apply traction control) when needed.
