Toyota 86 2017 special edition HAC (Hill Assist Control)
 

Hi, does anyone know how to turn hill assist control on?

according to the toyota website for the 2017 models it should be enableable... I've tried looking through the settings and I can't seem to figure how to turn it on :/

Hillstart assist is also off by default. To turn it on:
- Park car in a flat location
- stop the engine
- start the engine and check that the ABS warning light and slip indicator are off
- Press and hold the "Traction-off" button (leftmost button that looks like car with skidmark and the word "off" at the bottom) for 30 seconds. Both VSC and Traction Control off indicator should illuminate and then turn off.
- Within 5 seconds after the indicator lights turn off, release the "Traction-off" button, then press the switch again within 2 seconds of releasing it.
- The hill start assist ON indicator will illuminate and then turn off.
- Turn the engine off, then restart the engine
- If done correctly the hill start assist ON indicator should now be illuminated.

I still have no idea why this is disabled by default. I love this feature on my Dad's '08 Mini, and wish my '16 had it...

Maybe, because the Mini needs all the help it can get to get over hills .....??


:D

What I'd really like, is to bale to hold the unlock button on the FOB, and have both widows roll down automatically.

That would be cool to have. My old 2003 golf had that feature.

Does anyone ever read the owners manual?

It didn't come in a LARGE PRINT version ........ so,...... no.


;)

I did. It didn't mention being able to program the fob to roll the windows down.

My BRZ is my first manual transmission vehicle and I hate hill assist. Can't feel the clutch engage when hill assist is doing it's thing.

So hows this work? Just automatically actuates the rear brakes?

Not sure the manual says much on it.

Gotta love the first point on page 262.
