4-2. Driving procedures
CAMRY_HV_GE
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” paddle
shift switch. The shift range can then be selected by operating the “-”
and “+” paddle shift switches. Changing the shift range allows restric-
tion of the highest gear, preventing upshifting and enabling the level of
engine braking force to be selected.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1
to D6 will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
■ When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated with the shift lever in the D
position (vehicles with paddle shift switches)
The shift range is downshifted to a range that enables engine braking force
that is suitable to driving conditions.
■
Automatic deactivation of shift range selection in the D position (vehi-
cles with paddle shift switches)
Shift range selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following situ-
ations:
● The “+” paddle shift switch is held down for a period of time
● When the vehicle comes to a stop
● If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of time
● When the shift lever is shifted to a position other than D
■ S mode
●
When the shift range is S4 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to S6.
● To prevent the engine from over-revving, upshifting may automatically
occur.
■
Downshift restriction warning buzzer (S mode or paddle shifting)
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 or paddle shift switches are operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)
