If the “DAC” switch is pushed 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.
The slip indicator light and downhill assist
control system indicator light come on for
a few seconds when the ignition key is
turned to “ON”. If any of the indicator
lights does not come on when the ignition
key is turned to “ON”, contact your Toyota
dealer.
2. Push the “DAC” switch to turn the
system on. The downhill assist con-
trol system indicator light will come
on.
With the vehicle traveling at a speed of
25 km/h (15 mph) or less, release the
brake pedal and accelerator pedal to acti-
vate the system. The vehicle will descend
the hill at a low speed.
If the brake actuator temperature becomes
too high, the downhill assist control sys-
tem indicator light will flash and a buzzer
will start to sound intermittently. This indi-
cates that the system cannot operate for
much longer. In this case, stop the vehicle
immediately in a safe place.
If the downhill assist control system indi-
cator light flashes, the selector lever may
not be in “L” or “R”.
While the system is operating, the slip
indicator light will flash and the stoplights
and high mounted stoplight will be lit. A
sound may also occur during the opera-
tion. This does not indicate a malfunction.
If the indicator light does not come on
when the switch is pushed, or the indica-
tor light flashes when the selector lever is
in “L” or “R”, contact your Toyota dealer.
If the system continues to operate while
driving, the buzzer will sound for about 3
seconds. The system will temporarily stop
operating in order to protect the brake
actuator. Although the downhill assist con-
trol system is not operating, it is still pos-
sible to continue your driving.
If the brakes are applied while the system
is operating, a kickback from the brake
pedal may result and a sound may occur.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
