You'll have to come round for a beer Rob. I'll take you over to the hill and we'll see what 5mph feels like going down it and whether we'd be happy at that on iceIt might have been useful GG - as the D2 also uses a similar HDC with the G-sensor. As Nodge mentions, it should also function as an inclinometer as well - so it would have "known" that you were descending a hill - and perhaps under these circumstances a first gear crawl with HDC assistance would have made for a slightly more comfortable experience???
I turned the engine off for a bit and after that didn't get enough speed up to activate the ABS until I was back on the flat again - which is about the slowest HDC will keep to.
This hill is very steep and has sharp 90 degree bends - in normal driving conditions I've been overtaken by cyclists coming down this hill - which was a shock
Edit : We could just go down it with HDC
