2164-2. Driving procedures
CAMRY_U
■Automatic deactivation of shift range selection in the D positi on (vehi-
cles with paddle shift switches)
Shift range selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following situ-
ations:
● The “+” paddle shift switch is held down for a period of time
● When the vehicle comes to a stop
● If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain p eriod of time
● When the shift lever is shifted to a position other than D
■ S mode
●When the shift range is 7 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the
shift range to 8.
● To prevent the engine from over-revving, upshifting may automat ically
occur.
● To protect the automatic transmission, a function is adopted that automati-
cally selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature i s high.
■ Downshift restriction warning buzzer (S mode or paddle shifting )
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting ope ration may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting ma y not be
possible even when the shift lever or paddle shift switches are operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)
■ When driving with dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range or
dynamic radar cruise control or cruise control activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of e nabling engine
braking, engine braking will not occur because cruise control o r dynamic
radar cruise control with full speed range or dynamic radar cru ise control will
not be canceled.
● While driving in D or S mode, downshifting to 7, 6, 5 or 4.
(
P. 269, 283, 297)
● When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in the D posi-
tion. (
P. 353)
■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-start Control)
P. 191
■ Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with a smart key system), the brake pedal is depresse d and the shift
release button is pushed.
