Chevrolet Trax: Descent Control System (DCS)
If equipped, the DCS allows the vehicle to travel at a low speed without applying the brake.
The vehicle will automatically decelerate to a low speed and remain there when DCS is turned on.
Use only when descending steep grades while driving off-road. Do not use when driving on normal road surfaces.

The green DCS light flashes on
the
instrument cluster while driving at
speeds below 35 km/h (22 mph) to
show the system is operating.
Some noise or vibration from the brake system may be heard or felt when DCS is active. This is normal.
DCS will not activate at speeds above 35 km/h (22 mph), even if the button is pressed.
Caution
DCS is designed for driving down steep off-road hills. Unnecessary use of DCS can cause malfunctions in the brake system or StabiliTrak. Do not use DCS when driving on normal road surfaces.
To turn the system off, press the DCS button again and the DCS light turns off. Applying the brake or accelerator will also cause DCS to turn off.
