JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Hill decent control.

It basically uses the anti-lock brake system along with computerized downshifting of the auto transmission to keep control while descending hills.

Hill Assist and Hill Descent Control are two different things. Hill Descent Control is what that button is and helps to control speed of descent. Hill Assist holds a car from rolling backwards when starting out going up hill.

that's not hill assist. That is hill descent control. Engage it when descending a hill and you can focus on steering, the brakes are applied automatically. Tap the gas and it will creep along.

Be careful misinforming people of what their rig does, they could get hurt or hurt someone else.
