Yes, check out "Hill Start Assist System" on page 259 of the Owner's Manual.
Here is a link to get the manuals.

@PhatFreshPrince Thank you for those links. Pragmatically, not defeatable in real-world driving situations: "Park your vehicle on a flat and safe location. Turn the ignition switch to the 'OFF' position...."

I agree. I think it is only activated if the car is on a steep incline. It would be nice for the feature to be ON and the light to be OFF unless you stop on an incline large enough to activate it.

Jumping on this, to turn it off, do the same thing to turn it on.Yes, check out "Hill Start Assist System" on page 259 of the Owner's Manual.

But the hill assist is great on this generation, I just hate seeing that light always on
OMG I am glad somebody else has wondered this..!! Every single review video I have watched all I can see is that stupid light glaring at me on the dash. I keep thinking, why in the world is nobody turning that off. I for one will turn it off before I even leave the dealership. I have driven manual for 20 years. I have never and will never need assistance to drive on a hill. That looking back at me all day would me nuts too. And if I were to leave it on I would feel like a cheater. This is a purist car.... turn it off. I have attached the steps in the manual to turn it off and save your sanity.

It shouldnt. It states to do the same process to turn the system back on. If it defaulted to ON all the time, it would just tell you to restart the vehicle instead of going through that long song and dance. LOL

I have never used it but would be interested to try. If I like it I wonder if there is a simple way to just disable the damn light. Maybe a fuse.

Aside from the light being annoying, is there any benefits to having it turned off?
Pride. Think of it as a crutch. You shouldnt need it. Just like all the honda and hyundai drivers like to brag about their automatic rev matching feature. To me if you are using that it just means you cant drive very well. Im probably the minority on that topic though, people love their "tech".

Yeah, that makes since. I have drove a manual in years so don't mind it until I get back into the swing of things, lol. Or well won't mind it once I finally take delivery of my car.

Thank you for this thread. I just got my 2022 Toyota GR86 and the green hill assist light stays illuminated. I thought something was wrong. I took it to the Toyota dealership and they said the really weren't familiar with the light and said their only guess was that perhaps the aftermarket wheels were throwing off the sensors smh. I like having the hill assist system on but the light really should only be on when the system is engaged... oh well.
I can confirm, it doesn't turn back on. I''ve had it off for about a month now. Although I'm curious if it will if I disconnect the battery.

I assume this is just for manual and not auto right?
