'03 4Runner_U (L/O 0208) TO ACTIVATE THE DOWNHILL ASSIST CONTROL SYSTEM 1. Turn the four-wheel drive control switch knob to the "L4" position. The system will not operate if the four- wheel drive control switch knob is in the "H4" position. 2. In order to make full use of the engine brake, putting the transmission in "L" or "2" is recommended. The system will operate even if the transmission selector lever is in "D", "4", "3" or "N". However, when it is in "L" or "2" the engine brake can also be utilized enabling the system to operate more effectively. 3. Push the "DAC" switch to turn the system on. The downhill assist control system indicator light on the instrument panel will come on. If the downhill assist control system indicator light flashes, the selector lever may be in "N" or the four-wheel drive control switch knob may be in the "H4" position. If the indicator light does not come on when the switch is pushed, contact your Toyota dealer. With the vehicle traveling at a speed of 25 km/h (15 mph) or less, release your foot from the accelerator or brake pedal to activate the system. The vehicle will descend the hill at a low speed. While the system is operating, the slip indicator light on the instrument panel will flash and the stop lights and high mounted stoplight will be lit. If you push the "DAC" switch 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 continue driving at a low speed, push the "DAC" switch to turn the system on. 142 2003 4RUNNER from Aug.
