■Continuously variable transmission fail-
safe control
The system detects ma lfunctioning parts
targeted (all of the so lenoids that perform
the shifting function) by the On-Board
Diagnostics, and performs fail-safe mecha-
nisms, such as restrict ing the shifting func-
tion or transmission ratio control. In this
event, the malfunction indicator lamp turns
on.
■When driving with dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range activated
Even when switching the driving mode to
Sport mode while driving in D position
(  P.243) with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate
because radar cruise control with full-
speed range will not be canceled.
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start
Control)
 P.143
■AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable
gear step according to driver performance
and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the
driving mode is set to Normal mode with
the shift lever in the D position. (Shifting the
shift lever to the M position cancels the
function.)
■G AI-SHIFT
G AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suit-
able gear step according to driver’s input
and driving conditions. G AI-SHIFT oper-
ates automatically when the shift lever is in
the D position and Sport mode is selected
for the driving mode. (Selecting normal
mode or shifting the shift lever to the M
position cancels the function.)
While the engine switch is in
ON and the brake pedal depressed*,
shift the shift lever while pushing the
shift release button on the shift knob.
