Gear step functions
●
You can choose from 7 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.
■
If the 7-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 transmission
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.)
■
When the vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the M position
●
The transmission will automatically 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.
■
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 cruise control will not be
canceled.
●
When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D position.

■
Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■
Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with a smart key system), and the brake pedal is being depressed.
