2-1. Driving procedures
■
“S” mode
●
When the shift range is “5” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to “6”.
●
To prevent the engine from over-revving, upshifting may automatically
occur.
●
To protect the automatic transmission, shift range is automatically set to
“6” when the automatic transmission overheats.
■
Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the “S” mode)
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. (The warning buzzer will
sound twice.)
■
When driving with the cruise control system
The engine brake will not operate in the “S” mode, even when downshifting
to “5” or “4”. (

If the shift lever cannot be shifted from “P”
→
P. 543
■
If the “S” indicator does not come on 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 vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in “D”.)
■
AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically shifts the gear to the optimal position according
to the driver performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the “D” posi-
tion. (Shifting the shift lever to the “S” position cancels the function.)
