5-2. Driving procedures
● When the shift lever is shifted to a
position other than D
● When the “+” paddle shift switch is
held down for a period of time
When the shift lever is in the S posi-
tion, the shift lever or paddle shift
switches (if equipped) can be oper-
ated as follows:
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected shift range, from S1 to S6,
will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
The initial shift range in S mode is
set automatically to S4.
*
*
: It is set to S3 when the driving mode
is set to sport mode. (P.411)
■ S mode
● You can choose from 6 levels of
accelerating force and engine braking
force.
● A lower shift range will provide greater
accelerating force and engine braking
force than a higher shift range, and
the engine revolutions will also
increase.
● To prevent the engine from over-rev-
ving, upshifting may automatically
occur when the shift range is 1 or 2.
● When the shift range is 4 or lower,
holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to 6.
■ Downshifting restriction warning
buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving per-
formance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some cir-
cumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever or
paddle shift switches (if equipped) is
operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■ If the “S” indicator does not come
on or the “D” indicator is displayed
even after shifting the shift lever to
S
This may indicate a malfunction in the
transmission system. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer immediately. (In
this situation, the transmission will oper-
ate in the same manner as when the
shift lever is in D.)
