■
Shift ranges and their functions
A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking forces than a
higher shift range.
■ Downshifting restrictions (standard type)
The shift lever cannot be downshifted if the following speeds are exceeded.
mph (km/h)
■ Downshift restriction warning buzzer (multi-mode type  S mode)
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (The warning buzzer will
sound twice.)
Shift rangeFunction
5 A gear between 1 and 5 is automatically selected
according to vehicle speed and driving conditions.
4 A gear between 1 and 4 is automatically selected
according to vehicle speed and driving conditions.
3 A gear between 1 and 3 is automatically selected
according to vehicle speed and driving conditions.
2 A gear between 1 and 2 is automatically selected
according to vehicle speed and driving conditions.

■When driving with cruise cont rol activated (if equipped)
Standard type
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate while downshifting to 3
because cruise control will not be canceled. ( P. 169)
Multi-mode type
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate while driving in S mode and
downshifting to 4 because cruise control will not be canceled. ( P. 169)
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 446
■ If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to S (multi-mode type)
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in D.)
■ AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
Standard type
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position. Multi-mode type
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
(Shifting the shift lever to the S position cancels the function.)

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
● The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (

■Indicators
The indicators inform the driver of the operating state of the
vehicle’s various systems.
*1: These lights turn on when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart key system) or
the engine switch is turned to
the “ON” position (vehicles without
smart key system) to indicate that a system check is being per-
formed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few
seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not
come on, or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer for details.
*2: The light flashes to indicate that the system is operating.

CAUTION
■
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS or SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
■ Warning lights
Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle’s systems. ( P. 420)
*1: These lights turn on when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart key system) or
the engine switch is turned to
the “ON” position (vehicles without
smart key system) to indicate that a system check is being per-
formed. They will turn off after the engine is started, or after a few
seconds. There may be a malfunction in a system if a light does not
come on, or if the lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer for details.

Average fuel consumption
● Driving range Displays the average fuel
consumption since the
function was reset.
• The function can be reset by pressing the display button for longer than one second when the aver-
age fuel consumption is displayed.
• Use the displayed average fuel consumption as a reference.
Displays the estimated maximum distance that
can be driven with the quantity of fuel remaining.
• This distance is computed based on your averagefuel consumption. As a result, the actual distance
that can be driven may differ from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the tank, the display may not be updated.
Vehicles without smart key system
When refueling, turn the engine off. If the vehicle
is refueled without turning the engine off, the dis-
play may not be updated.
Vehicles with smart key system
When refueling, turn the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch OFF. If the vehicle is refueled without turn-
ing the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF, the
