“Downhill Assist Control (DAC)” for the FJ?

[PJA]

I know that the 4Runner has “Downhill Assist Control (DAC)”.

But- For the FJ- For going down STEEP downhills in Low Range/1st Gear, does anyone know if the FJ has any similar computer-aided brake assist?

Or--- Is it possible that the FJ’s computers, A-TRAC, ABS, TRAC, etc, etc, actually INTERFERE with control when going down STEEP downhills in Low Range/1st Gear?

Any thoughts re this appreciated---

Nope, no DAC. However, the A-TRAC performs similar duties in all situations (with 4WD engaged).

Yes. It's the middle pedal. ^_^ (Or the big one on the left for the slushbox drivers.)

Whether it's "Downhill Assist Control" or something different, when you are in 4WD Low and in 1st gear on the auto tranny the FJ automatically applies brakes when descending a steep hill. Based on a limited amount of playing around on steep descents I've found you usually don't need to brake at all.
