2. Set the driving pattern selector switch to the ”Normal”
position.
Your transmission has a driving pattern selector switch which
allows you to select either ”Normal” or ”Power” to suit your
driving condition. For ordinary driving, Lexus recommends
that you use the ”Normal” position to improve fuel economy.
3. For more powerful acceleration and sporty driving, use
the ”Power” position.
In the ”Power” position, the ”ECT PWR” light in the instrument
cluster is on and the transmission is shifted up at higher vehicle
speeds and shifted down more responsively than in the
”Normal” position.
