To enter 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, shift the shift lever

allowing you to drive in the gear step of your choosing.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to
M7, will be displayed in the meter.
However, even when in the M position, the gear steps will be auto-
matically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
■
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 “M” indicator flashes or a buzzer beeps 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.
