Driving assist systems
◆ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the
brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
◆Brake assist (if equipped)
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (if equipped)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces
◆TRC (Traction Control) for Pre Runner and H2 position on 4WD
models (if equipped)
Helps to maintain drive power and pr event the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆A-TRC (Active Traction Control) for H4 and L4 position on 4WD
models (if equipped)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the four wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
◆Hill-start assist control (if equipped)
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on
an uphill
◆Emergency brake signal (if equipped)

■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, Trailer
Sway Control, TRC, A-TRC and the hill-start assist control systems
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the ABS is activated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■ Automatic reactivation of TRC, A-TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control
systems
After turning the TRC, A-TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control systems off, the
systems will be automatically re-enabled in the following situations:
● When the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
● If only the TRC/A-TRC system is turned off, the TRC/A-TRC will turn on
when vehicle speed increases.
If the TRC, A-TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control systems are turned off,
automatic re-enabling will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■ Operating conditions of the hill-start assist control
When the following four conditions are me t, the hill-start assist control will
operate:
● Vehicles with automatic transmission: The shift lever is in a position other
than P or N (when starting off forward/backward on an upward incline)
Vehicles with manual transmission: The shift lever is in a position other than
R when starting off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is in R
when starting off backward on an upward incline.
● The vehicle is stopped
● The accelerator pedal is not depressed
● The parking brake is not engaged
■ Automatic system cancelation of the hill-start assist control
The hill-start assist control will turn off in any of the following situations:
● Vehicles with automatic transmission: The shift lever is shifted to P or N
Vehicles with manual transmission: The shift lever is shifted to R when start-
ing off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is shifted to other than
R when starting off backward on an upward incline.
● The accelerator pedal is depressed
● The parking brake is engaged
● 2 seconds at maximum elapsed after the brake pedal is released

■Operating tips (vehicles with automatic transmission)
The system will operate when the shift lever is in a position other than P, how-
ever to make effective use of the system it is recommended to select a lower
shift range.
■ The system will not operate when
● The transfer mode is in H2.
● The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
■ If the downhill assist control system indicator flashes
● In the following situations, the indicator flashes and the system will not oper-
ate:
• The transfer mode is not in L4 or H4.
• The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
• The shift lever is in P. (vehicles with automatic transmission)
• The accelerator or brake pedal is depressed.
• The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 30 km/h (18 mph).
• The brake system overheats.
● In the following situations, the indicator flashes to alert the driver, but the
system will operate:
• The shift lever is in N. (vehicles with automatic transmission)
• The clutch pedal is depressed. (vehicles with manual transmission)
• The “DAC” switch is turned off while the system is operating.
The system will gradually ceases operat ion. The indicator will flash during
operation, and then go off when the system is fully off.
■ When the downhill assist control system is operated continuously
This may cause the brake actuator to overheat. In this case, the downhill
assist control system will stop operating, a buzzer will sound and the downhill
assist control system indicator will start flashing, and “TRC turned off” is
shown on the multi-information display. Refrain from using the system until
the downhill assist control system indicator stays on and “TRC turned off” dis-
played on the multi-information display goes out. (The vehicle can be driven
normally during this time.)
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the downhill assist control system
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate
that a malfunction has occurred in downhill assist control system.
● Either of the following conditions may occur when the downhill assist control
system is operating. None of these are indicators that a malfunction has
occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.

■ System malfunction
In the following cases, have your vehicle checked by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● The downhill assist control system indicator does not come on when the
engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem).
● The downhill assist control system indicator does not come on when the
“DAC” switch is pressed.
● The slip indicator comes on.
WARNING
■When using downhill assist control system
● Do not rely overmuch on the downhill assist control system. This function
does not extend the vehicle’s performance limitations. Always thoroughly
check the road conditions, and drive safely.
● Vehicles with manual transmission: Drive in a low gear. Driving in a high
gear when using downhill assist control system may cause the engine to
stall, which may lose the brake effectiveness and lock the tires, resulting in
an accident.
● Vehicles with manual transmission: On a steep slope, use the engine brak-
ing efficiently. If the vehicle is driven in N or with the clutch pedal
depressed on a steep slope, the load on the brake increases and con-
trolling the vehicle speed may be impossible, resulting in an accident.
■ The system may not operate on the following surfaces, which may lead
to an accident causing death or serious injury
● Slippery surfaces such as wet or muddy roads
● Icy surface
● Unpaved roads

4044-6. Driving tips
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and
the vehicle ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road con-
ditions.
● Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P (automatic transmis-
sion) or 1 or R (manual transmission) without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake,
make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
● Vehicles with automatic transmission: If the vehicle is parked with-
out setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift lever cannot be
moved out of P*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifted from P to any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Use the correct tire chain size when mounting the snow chains.
Chain size is regulated for each tire size.
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always check local regulations before installing
chains.
