The Hill Descent Control is the system that
assists the steady driving with the constant
speed when descending steep grades where it
is impossible to decelerate the vehicle suffi-
ciently by the engine brake only or rough
roads.
NOTE

The hill start assist is activated when all of
the following conditions are met.
• The engine is running.
(The hill start assist will not be activated
while the engine is starting or immediately
after the engine is started.)
• On vehicles equipped with M/T, the gear-
shift lever is in the following position.
[When starting an uphill slope forwards.]
The gearshift lever is in any position other
than “R” (Return).
(The hill start assist will operate, even if the
gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.)
[When starting an uphill slope backwards.]
The gearshift lever is in the “R” (Return)
position.
(The hill start assist will not operate when
the gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral)
position.)
• On vehicles equipped with A/T, the selector
lever is in any position other than “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL).
• The vehicle is completely stationary, with
the brake pedal depressed.

The hill start assist also operates when
reversing on an uphill slope.
