Speed TOYOTA COROLLA 2016 11.G Owner's Manual

1524-1. Before driving
COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM12J84U)
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
nIf you hear a squealing or scraping noise (brake pad wear limit indica-
tors)
Have the brake pads checked and replaced by your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the pads are not replaced when needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle when the wear limits of the brake pads
and/or those of the brake discs are exceeded.
n When the vehicle is stopped
lDo not race the engine.
If the vehicle is in any gear other than P (automatic transmission or contin-
uously variable transmission) or N, the vehicle may accelerate suddenly
and unexpectedly, causing an accident.
l Except vehicles with a manual transmission: In order to prevent accidents
due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the brake pedal
while the engine is running, and apply the parking brake as necessary.
l If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused
by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal
and securely apply the parking brake as needed.
l Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combusti\
ble
material is nearby.
n When the vehicle is parked
lDo not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a
fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s
electrical components.

Driving
COROLLA_TMMMS_TMMC_U (OM12J84U)
*: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable fordriving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended
for normal driving.
n Downshifting restrictions
The shift lever cannot be downshifted if the following speeds are exceeded.
mph (km/h)
n When driving with cruise cont rol activated (if equipped)
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. 201)
n If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 534
n AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.

Be careful of downshifting and sudden acceleration, as this could result in
the vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.

*1: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noises, set the shift lever in D fornormal driving.
*2: Selecting gear step using the M position achieves suitable engine brakingforces by operating the shift lever.
Press the switch.
For powerful acceleration and driv-
ing in mountainous regions.
Press the switch again to return to
normal mode.
To drive in temporary gear steps selection mode, operate the “-” and
“+” paddle shift switches. The gear steps can then be selected by
operating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches. By selecting gear step
using paddle shift switches, you can control engine braking forces.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The selected gear step, from D1 to
D7, will be displayed in the meter.
To return to normal D position driv-
ing, the “+” paddle shift switch must
be held down for a period of time.

To enter 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, shift the shift lever
to M. Gear steps can then be selected by operating the shift lever,
allowing you to drive in the gear step of your choosing.Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to
M7, will be displayed in the meter.
However, even when in the M posi tion, the gear steps will be auto-
matically changed if the engine s peed is too high, or too low.
nGear step functions
lYou can choose from 7 levels of engine braking force.
l A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than a higher
gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.
n If the “M” indicator flashes or a buzze r beeps after shifting the shift lever
to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the continuously variable transmission
system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
n When the vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the M position
l The transmission will automatically downshift to M1 once the vehicle is
stopped.
l After a stop, the vehicle will start off in M1.
l When the vehicle is stopped, the transmission is set at M1.

When driving with cruise control activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not be
canceled.
lWhile driving in D or 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, downshifting
to 6, 5 or 4. ( P. 182)
l When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D position.
(P. 181)
n Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
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. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
n Sport mode automatic deactivation
Sport mode is automatically deactivated if the engine switch is turned off after
driving in sport mode.
n If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P

Fine adjustment: Momentarily
move the lever in the desired direc-
tion.
Large adjustment: Hold the lever in
the desired direction.
The set speed will be increased or decreased as follows:
Fine adjustment: By approximately 1 mph (1.6 km/h) each time the lever is
operated.
Large adjustment: The set speed can be increased or decreased continu-
ally until the lever is released.
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the constant speed
control.
The speed setting is also canceled
when the brakes are applied or the
clutch pedal (manual transmission)
is depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the constant speed control.
Resuming is available when the
vehicle speed is more than approx-
imately 25 mph (40 km/h).
