*: If equipped
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce
noise, shift the shift lever to D for nor-
mal driving.
■To protect the Multidrive
If the Multidrive fluid temperature is
high, “Transmission Oil Temp. High Stop in a safe place and See owner’s man-ual” will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and the vehicle will go into transmission protection mode auto-matically. Have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Multidrive fail-safe control
The system detects malfunctioning parts targeted (all of the solenoids that per-
form the shifting function) by the On-
Board Diagnostics, and performs fail- safe mechanisms, such as restricting the shifting function or transmission ratio
control. In this event, the malfunction indicator lamp turns on.
■When driving with dynamic radar cruise control activated (if
equipped)
Even when switching the driving mode to power mode with the intent of
enabling engine braking, engine braking will not occur because dynamic radar cruise control will not be canceled.

: While the engine switch is in
ON and the brake pedal
depressed*, shift the shift lever
while pushing the shift release but-
ton on the shift knob.
: Shift the shift lever while push-
ing the shift release button on the
shift knob.
: Shift the shift lever normally.
When shifting the shift lever between P
and D, make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped and the brake
pedal is depressed.
*: For the vehicle be able to be shifted
from P, the brake pedal must be
depressed before the shift release
button is pushed. If the shift release
button is pushed first, the shift lock
will not be released.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to pre- vent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting. The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in ON
and the brake pedal is being depressed.
■If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
First, check whether the brake pedal is
being depressed. If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brake pedal, there may
be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.The following steps may be used as an
emergency measure to ensure that the shift lever can be shifted.Releasing the shift lock:
1 Set the parking brake.
2 Turn the engine switch off.
3 Depress the brake pedal.
4 Ply the cover up with a flathead
screwdriver or equivalent tool. To prevent damaging the cover, wrap the tip of the flathead screw-
driver with a tape.

4-2. Driving procedures
Driving
To drive using temporary shift
range selection, operate the “-” or
“+” paddle shift switch.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is
operated, the gear step switches to
a range that enables engine brak-
ing force that is suitable to driving
conditions. When the “+” paddle
shift switch is operated, the gear
step switches to a step that is one
step higher than the current step.
Changing the gear step allows
restriction of the highest gear step,
preventing unnecessary upshifting
and enabling the level of engine
braking force to be selected.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected gear step, from D1 to D7,
will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
■Gear step functions
●7 levels of accelerating force and engine braking can be selected.
●A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than a higher gear step, and the engine speed will
also increase.
■Deactivation of temporary 7-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic mode
In the following situations, temporary 7-
speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic mode will be deactivated:
●When the vehicle is stopped
●If the accelerator pedal is depressed
continuously for more than a certain amount of time while in one gear step
●If the accelerator pedal is depressed abruptly and heavily
●When the shift lever is shifted to a position other than D
●When the “+” paddle shift switch is operated for a certain amount of time
continuously
■Downshifting restriction warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor-
mance, downshifting operation may sometimes be restricted. In some cir-cumstances, downshifting may not be
WARNING
■To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking brake and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal when the shift lock override button is
pressed and the shift lever is shifted out of P, the vehicle may suddenly start, possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.

possible even when the paddle shift
switch is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
To enter 7-speed sport sequential
shiftmatic mode, shift the shift lever
to M position. Gear steps can then
be selected by operating the shift
lever or paddle shift switches (if
equipped), allowing you to drive in
the gear step of your choosing.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The gear step changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switches (if
equipped) is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to M7,
will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
However, even when in the M posi-
tion, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed
is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
●7 levels of accelerating force and engine braking can be selected.
●A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than a higher gear step, and the engine speed will
also increase.
■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.
■Downshifting restriction warning
buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor- mance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some cir- cumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the shift lever is
operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■If the 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode indicator does not come on even after shifting the
shift lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the
Multidrive system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer immediately. (In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
