P. 335
Snow mode
Snow mode can be selected to suit the conditions when driving
on slippery road surfaces, such as on snow.
Press the switch.
The snow mode indicator light
will come on.
Press the switch again to return
to normal mode.
S mode
When the shift range is 6 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to 8.
When the shift lever is moved toward “-”, the shift range is downshifted to a
range that enables engine braking force that is suitable to driving condi-
tions.
To prevent the engine from over-revving, upshifting may automatically
occur.
Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the S mode)
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
When driving with cruise control, radar cruise control or dynamic radar cruise
control with full speed range activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control, radar
cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control with full speed range will not
be canceled.
While driving in S mode, downshifting to 7, 6, 5 or 4. (P. 250, 254, 268)
