Selecting gears in the M positionTo enter M mode, shift the shift lever to the M position. Gears can then be
selected by operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches, allowing you
to drive in the gear of your choosing. Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switch
is operated.
The selected gear, from 1 to 8, will
be displayed in the meter cluster.
When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the shift lever or
paddle shift switches are operated.
However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically
changed in the following situations:
● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
● When the automatic transmission fluid or engine coolant temperature
is low.

When driving
10_IS F_U
■If the automatic transmission fluid temperature warning message is displayed
■AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically selects the optimal gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position. How-
ever, operating the “-” paddle shift switch will restrict the function’s operation. (Shift-
ing the shift lever to the M position cancels the function.)
CAUTION
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
Be careful of downshifting and sudden acceleration, as this could result in the vehi-
cle skidding to the side or spinning.
If the automatic transmission fluid tempera-
ture warning message is displayed while driv-
ing, make sure you return to normal D
position driving and reduce speed by easing
off the accelerator pedal. Stop the vehicle in a
safe place, shift the shift lever to the P position
and let the engine idle until the warning mes-
sage goes out.
When the warning message goes out, the
vehicle can be driven again.
If the warning message does not go out after
waiting a while, have your vehicle inspected
by your Lexus dealer.
