■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.

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

● Engine missing, stumbling or pinging
● Appreciable loss of power
● Strange engine noises
● A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air condi-
tioning system after use is normal.)

leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
● Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
● Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
● Strange noises related to suspension movement
● Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal,
pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking
● Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal
If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as pos-
sible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.
