The current shift position is illuminated.
When selecting a shift position, make sure that the shift position has
been changed to the desired position by checking the shift position
indicator provided on the instrument panel.
When a shift position other than D or B is selected, the arrow toward B
disappears from the shift position indicator.
Shift position purpose
*: For good fuel economy and noise reduction, the D position should usually
be used.

Driving
Using engine braking
To use engine braking, select the B position.
During high speed driving, you may feel that deceleration by engine braking
is less than that of a conventional vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the transmission in B for a long time.
This may cause decreased fuel economy. To prevent this, use D for normal
driving.
Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift
position is in R.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed while the shift position is in N
A buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift position is in N.
Eco drive mode
When the accelerator pedal is depressed in Eco drive mode, it may take more
time to accelerate than usual. This is normal operation.
For the shift positions
When the power switch is off, the shift position cannot be changed.
When the power switch is in ON mode (the hybrid system is not operating),
the shift position can only be changed to N. The shift position will be
changed to N even if the shift position is shifted to D or R and held in that
position.
When the “READY” indicator is on, the shift position can be changed from P
to D, N or R.
When the “READY” indicator is flashing, the shift position cannot be
changed from P to another position even if the shift lever is operated.
Wait until the “READY” indicator changes from a flashing to a solid light, and
then operate the shift lever again.
The shift position can only be changed to B directly from D.

3024-2. Driving procedures
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)Alarms
If an attempt is made to change the shift position by moving the shift lever or
by pressing the P position switch in any of the following situations, a buzzer
will sound and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position will
automatically change to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift
position.
Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P to another
position by moving the shift lever without depressing the brake pedal.
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P or N to B
by moving the shift lever.
Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
• When the P position switch is pressed while the vehicle is running.
*1
• When an attempt is made to select the R position by moving the shift
lever when the vehicle is moving forward.
*2
• When an attempt is made to select the D position by moving the shift
lever when the vehicle is moving in reverse.
*3
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from R to B by
moving the shift lever.
*1: Shift position may be changed to P when driving at extremely low speeds.
*2: Shift position may be changed to R when driving at low speeds.
*3: Shift position may be changed to D when driving at low speeds.
When driving with cruise control activated (if equipped)
Even if switching the driving mode to power mode with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not
be canceled. (P. 332)
Customization
Settings (e. g. Reverse warning buzzer) can be changed.
(Customizable feature P. 737)

Driving
CAUTION
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift position suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.
For the shift lever
Do not remove the shift lever knob or use anything but a genuine Toyota
shift lever knob. Also, do not hang anything on the shift lever.
Doing so could prevent the shift lever from returning to position, causing
unexpected accidents to occur when the vehicle is in motion.
P position switch
Do not press the P position switch while the vehicle is moving.
If the P position switch is pressed when driving at very low speeds (for
example, directly before stopping the vehicle), the vehicle may stop sud-
denly when the shift position switches to P, which could lead to an accident.
