Hi Guys
I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I recently purchased the Prado Altitude 2013. According to the spec, this vehicle is equipped with Hill Assist Control (they say all automatic models has this feature).
I tried testing the HAC on a steep slope. I can see that the vehicle is trying to apply break without my intervention to stop from moving backwards. (could hear the breaking noise). However the vehicle was slowly moving backwards.
Is this the way the HAC is suppose to work? I was in High gear when this was tested. Should the vehicle be still, without moving backward at all? Or should the low gear must be engaged to make it work.
Appreciate comments if some one has experience this before..
