2016 TRD Off-Road

Maybe the 3rd gens will still have the start clutch cancel button.

 

I tried it in my Corolla. It won't go far without the key, and it won't start unless your in the car with the key. It works better than you would expect, I was not a fan before. Love it in the car. Still want a key in the truck.

 

Good points. It is crazy how much "intelligence" is built into the system. Cant lock the keys in, the courtesy lights come on when you walk up etc.

Still want my key, lol

 

Manual transmission. I still push the brake, parents taught me as a kid and still do it out of habit. Certainly no need technical need to push the brake though.

 

Yeah, hills! I always pressed the brake to hold the car in place when depressing the clutch on a parked car. Perhaps that's where the automatic habit of pressing the brake came from. It's a good habit for safety. Great point about the manuals.

 

Hey question? ?
New Brochure Say Atrac Will Only Be In Manual Transmission??
This Has Been Driving Me Crazy...
I Have 2015 Tacoma 4x4 Double Cap 6 Speed Manual....In 4x4 High It Seem I Have A Traction Activation Button Same As Auto Lsd But Activates Traction In 4x4 High??
What Is This? Is Atrac Only On Auto Tran?

 

2015 is not 3rd gen. might want to ask in the 2nd gen section

 

They seem to have incorporated A-TRAC into Crawl Control for the automatics. The system is in there.

For your truck, as all others back to the 2009 model, TRACtion Control is in both H2 and H4. A quick press of the VSC button in 2012+ trucks increases the system limited slip powers to what they call 'Trac Off' in H4 and 'Auto LSD' in H2. This is the limited slip TRAC, but with engine regulation OFF... ie. brakes only and not throttle cut to stop the spinning. 2009-2011 in H4 is only the stronger mode, without the different name.

In L4, only the Off Road TRD has a limited slip traction system... A-TRAC & Crawl Control. It is MUCH stronger than Trac or Trac Off, more like a locking differentials on the back and front axles.

As always, to turn off the traction controls and allow the tires to spin, stop the truck then press and hold down the VSC button for a few seconds. VSC OFF MODE turns off both VSC and TRAC. It comes back on by pressing the button again quickly, restarting the truck, or driving dangerously.
