Slip indicator light comes on vehicle rolls backwards on a steep road at a set of traffic lights

Prado Landcruiser GXL 2011 model - when on an incline on bitumen at a set of traffic lights the vehicle starts rolling backwards the slip indicator light comes on and makes a clicking noise before depressing the accelerator pedal to move forward. Am new to these vehicles and have looked in the manual but cannot work out what it is or do I need to take it in the service center?

Sounds like hill start and VSC working. It's normal.

did the GXL 2011 model have hill start assist?
did they drop that from the later model GXL's

pretty sure thats normal, if I reverse and put it in drive and start accelerating while I'm still going backwards it sets something off.

Yet same here, hill start assist. Totally useless and complicated feature that I can't work out why it even exists. My Subaru clutch brake feature works vastly more superior to this.
