TO ACTIVATE THE DOWNHILL ASSIST
CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Turn the four–wheel drive control
switch knob to the “L4” position.
The system will not operate if the four–
wheel drive control switch knob is in the
“H4” position.
2. In order to make full use of the en-
gine brake, putting the transmission
in “L” or “2” is recommended.
The system will operate even if the trans-
mission selector lever is in “D”, “4”, “3”
or “N”. However, when it is in “L” or “2
the engine brake can also be utilized en-
abling the system to operate more effec-
tively.

system on. The downhill assist con-
trol system indicator light on the in-
strument panel will come on.

cator light flashes, the selector lever may

switch knob may be in the “H4” position.
If the indicator light does not come on
when the switch is pushed, contact your
Toyota dealer.
With the vehicle traveling at a speed of
25 km/h (15 mph) or less, release your
foot from the accelerator or brake pedal
to activate the system. The vehicle will
descend the hill at a low speed. While the
system is operating, the slip indicator light
on the instrument panel will flash and the
stop lights and high mounted stoplight will
be lit.
If you push the “DAC” switch to turn the
system off while it is in operation, the
system will stop operating gradually. The
downhill assist control system indicator
light will flash to alert the driver. To con-
tinue driving at a low speed, push the
“DAC” switch to turn the system on.
