Downhill Assist Control

Multimedia

At the touch of a button, Downhill Assist Control (DAC) [1] helps the GX descend slippery and steep grades. At the top of a downhill area, DAC works with the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Active Traction Control (A-TRAC) to help keep the GX's speed below 15 mph and prevent the wheels from locking up. Virtually all the driver needs to do is watch the road and steer.

[1]DAC is designed to help the driver maintain vehicle control and speed on steep downhill descents. It is not a substitute for safe driving judgment and practices. Factors including speed, grade, surface conditions and driver input can all affect whether DAC will be effective in preventing a loss of control. Please see your Owner's Manual for further details.
