ENGINE (IGNITION) SWITCH, TRANSMISSION AND PARKING BRAKE
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.
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 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.
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.
Vehicles without smart entry and start sys-
tem—The slip indicator light and downhill
assist control system indicator light come
on for a few seconds when the engine
switch is turned to the "ON" position. If
any of the indicator lights does not come
on when the engine switch is turned to
the "ON" position, contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.

Vehicles with smart entry and start sys-
tem—The slip indicator light and downhill
assist control system indicator light come
on for a few seconds when the "ENGINE
START STOP" switch is in IGNITION ON
mode. If any of the indicator lights does
not come on when the "ENGINE START
STOP" switch is in IGNITION ON mode,
contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
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 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.
The operation of the system will be auto-
matically restored after the actuator cools
down. The downhill assist control system
indicator light changes from blinking to
remaining on after operation is restored.
