what are these blank buttons used for with the appropriate tacoma? I know one is used for the rear diff lock, but what are the other three for?

 

[cburton]

One is for the traction control and the other is for hill descent control. Not sure about the third.

 

[zmtnbik]

On manual trucks, one is for clutch cancel when starting

 

[Jaime]

Damn your truck is dusty but that's neither here nor there.

All I know for sure is that the bottom middle is for the clutch start cancel on manual trucks

 

[mjonags32]

yeah. theres the DAC, RR Locker, clutch start cancel

 

[Ice|Burn]

Stupid question: What is clutch start cancel?

Lets you start a truck with a manual transmission without pressing the clutch.

just don't forget to leave it in gear so you can crash your truck thru the garage wall or mangle the vehicle parked in front of you...but seriously, its purpose is for offroading maybe if your on a steep incline, or on a big obstacle so you can use the starter gear to go forward instead of rolling back. I use mine to start it when its snowing out and i need de-snow the truck etc.

This is kind of what I figured, but wasn't sure. Thanks for the answer.

This would be true if you had never driven a manual before.
Although the ability to turn it off while off-roading makes a lot of sense.

must only come with the 4wd. my 2wd doesn't have that.

 

[blackhawke88]

my tacoma was the only manual car I had with clutch start cancel. I looked like an ass at the dealership cuz I couldnt start the truck and told the dealer it was broken. With my rex you just get in, turn the key and go. I think anyone who starts the truck in gear by accident should learn before getting a manual.

Are there any hacks to get some of those other dandy little features you have on your truck on mine? Like on the FJ how if you have the rear locker all you have to do is buy the switch to get ATRAC.
