4-2. Driving procedures
4
Driving
*1
:Shifting to the D position allows
the system to select a gear suit-
able for the driving conditions.
Setting the shift lever to the D
position is recommended for nor-
mal driving.
*2
:Selecting shift ranges using S
mode restricts the upper limit of
the possible gear ranges, con-
trols engine braking force, and
prevents unnecessary upshifting.
■ When driving with 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 dynamic radar
cruise control with full-speed range
will not be canceled.
● While driving in S mode, down-
shifting to 7, 6, 5, or 4. (P.201)
● When switching the driving mode
to sport mode while driving in D.
(P.351)
■ If “High Transmission Fluid
Temp See Owner’s Manual” is
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display (AWD models)
Make sure to return to D position
driving and reduce speed by easing
off the accelerator pedal. Stop the
vehicle in a safe place, shift the shift
lever to P and let the engine idle
until the warning message goes out.
When the warning message goes
out, the vehicle can be driven again.
If the warning message does not go
out after waiting a while, have your
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-
Start Control)
P.170
■ AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically selects
the suitable gear according to driver
performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically oper-
ates when the shift lever is in D.
(Shifting the shift lever to S cancels
the function.)
Automatic transmis-
sion
Select the shift position
depending on your purpose
