Driving
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected shift range, from S1 to
S8 will be displayed on the multi-
information display.
The initial shift range in S mode
is set automatically to 4, 5 or 6
according to vehicle speed.
However, the initial shift range
may be set to 3 if AI-SHIFT has
operated while the shift lever
was in the D position. (P.201)
■ S mode
● You can choose from 8 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 revolu-
tions will also increase.
● To prevent the engine from over-
revving, upshifting may automati-
cally occur.
● To protect the automatic transmis-
sion, a function is adopted that
automatically selects a higher shift
range when the fluid temperature
is high.
● When the shift range is 7 or lower,
holding the shift lever toward “+”
sets the shift range to 8.
■ Downshifting restriction warn-
ing buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving
performance, downshifting opera-
tion may sometimes be restricted. In
some circumstances, downshifting
may not be possible even when the
shift lever 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 automatic transmission system.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately. (In this
situation, the transmission will oper-
ate in the same manner as when the
shift lever is in D.)
