4-2. Driving procedures
COROLLA H/B_U
while in one gear range
● If the accelerator pedal is
depressed abruptly and heavily
● When the shift lever is shifted to a
position other than D
● When the “+” paddle shift switch is
operated for a certain amount of
time continuously
To enter 10-speed sport
sequential shiftmatic mode, shift
the shift lever to M position.
Gear steps can then be selected
by operating the shift lever or
paddle shift switches (if
equipped), allowing you to drive
in the gear step of your choos-
ing.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switch
is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to
M10, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
However, even when in the M
position, the gear steps will be
automatically changed if the
engine speed is too high, or too
low.
■ Gear step functions
● You can choose from 10 levels of
engine braking force.
● A lower gear step will provide
greater engine braking force than
a higher gear step, and the engine
speed will also increase.
■ When the vehicle comes to a
stop with the shift lever in the M
position
● The transmission will automati-
cally downshift to M1 once the
vehicle is stopped.
● After a stop, the vehicle will start
off in M1.
● When the vehicle is stopped, the
transmission is set at M1.
■ 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 or paddle shift switch (if
equipped) is operated. (A buzzer
will sound twice.)
■ If the 10-speed sport sequential
shiftmatic mode indicator does
not come on even after shifting
the shift lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in
the continuously variable transmis-
sion system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission
will operate in the same manner as
when the shift lever is in D.)
