When Driving
Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
For vehicles with a manual transaxle, Hill Launch Assist (HLA) oper-
ates on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the reverse (R)
position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a p osition
other than the reve rse (R) position.
For vehicles with an automatic transaxle, Hill Launch Assist (H LA)
operates on a downward slope when the shift lever is in the rev erse
(R) position, and on an upward slope when the shift lever is in a for-
ward gear.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate on a gentle slope. In addition, the
gradient of the slope on which the system will operate changes depending
on the vehicle’s load.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate if the parking brake is applied, the
vehicle has not stopped completely, or the clutch pedal is released.
● While Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is operating, the brake pedal ma y feel stiff
and vibrate, however, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not operate while the TCS/DSC ind icator light
is illuminated.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on P. 493.
● Hill Launch Assist (HLA) does not turn off even if the DSC OFF switch is
pressed to turn off the TCS/DSC.
: If equipped
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is a f unction which assists the driver in
accelerating from a stop while on a slope. When the driver
releases the brake pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal
while on a slope, the function pr events the vehicle from rolling.
The braking force is maintained automatically after the brake
pedal is released on a steep grade.

WARNING
■Do not rely completely on Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is an auxiliary device for acceleratin g from a stop
on a slope. The system only operates for about 2 seconds and th erefore,
relying only on the system, when accelerating from a stop is da ngerous
because the vehicle may move (roll) unexpectedly and cause an a ccident.
The vehicle could roll depending on the vehicle’s load or if it is towing some-
thing. In addition, for vehicles with a manual transaxle, the vehicle could still
roll depending on how the clutch pedal or the accelerator pedal is operated.
Always confirm the safety around the vehicle before starting to drive the
vehicle.

3-11. Cruise Control
If the cruise control system temporarily canceled (such as applying
the brake pedal) and the system i s still activated, the most recent set
speed will automatically resume when the RES/ switch is pressed .
If vehicle speed is below 16 mph (25 km/h), increase the vehicl e
speed up to 16 mph (25 km/h) or m ore and press the RES/ switch.
To temporarily cancel the syst em, use one of these methods:
• Slightly depress the brake pedal.
• Manual transaxle: Depress the clutch pedal.
• Press the OFF/CAN switch.
If the RES/ switch is pressed w hen the vehicle speed is 16 mph (25
km/h) or higher, the system rev erts to the previously set speed .
●If any of the following conditions occur, the cruise control sy stem is tempo-
rarily canceled.
• The parking brake is applied.
• Manual transaxle: The shift lever is in the neutral position.
• Automatic transaxle: The select or lever is in the P or N position.
● When the cruise control system is temporarily canceled by even one of the
applicable cancel conditions, the speed cannot be re-set.
● Automatic transaxle:
The cruise control cannot be cancelled while driving in manual mode (selec-
tor lever shifted from D to M position). Therefore, engine brak ing will not be
applied even if the transaxle is shifted down to a lower gear. If deceleration
is required, lower the set speed or depress the brake pedal.
■
When a cruising speed has been set (cruise set indication
(white) is displayed/cruise set indicator light (green) turns on)
