System malfunction
■
In case of a system malfunction, the following may occur:
The downhill assist control system indicator flashes in a situation other
●
than those listed above.
The downhill assist control system indicator does not come on when the
●
engine switch is turned to the "ON" position (vehicles without a smart key
system) or the "ENGINE START STOP" switch is turned to IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
Have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Conditions which may affect the downhill assist control system opera-
■
tion
Do not rely too heavily on the downhill assist control system. On extremely
●
steep inclines, icy surfaces or muddy roads, the vehicle may slip and the
system may not be able to maintain the constant low vehicle speed of
about 3 mph (5 km/h), leading to an accident causing death or serious
injury.
Do not shift the shift lever to R while driving forward, or to D while driving
●
backward. Doing so may cause the wheels to lock up, leading to an acci-
dent causing death or serious injury. In addition, excessive stress will be
applied to the automatic transmission, possibly resulting in damage.
