●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
To enter 10-speed sport

1
Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switch
is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to
M10, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
However, even when in the M
position, the gear steps will be
automatically changed if the
engine speed is too high, or too
low.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 10 levels of
engine braking force.
●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 automati-
cally 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 warn-
ing buzzer
To help ensure sa fety and driving
performance, dow nshifting opera-
tion may sometimes be restricted. In
some circumstances, downshifting
may not be possible even when the
shift lever or paddl e shift switch (if
equipped) is operated. (A buzzer
will sound twice.)
■If the 10-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 continuously variable transmis-
sion 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.)

The iMT optimally controls the engine speed to suit the driver’s
operation of the clutch pedal
and shift lever, helping the driver
to shift gears more smoothly.
Additionally, when the clutch
pedal is operated, the iMT helps
reduce shift shock, allowing for
lighter shift operations when
driving on a winding road or
incline.
Press the “iMT” switch.
The “iMT” indicator will illuminate in
green.
Press the switch again to cancel
i M T.

depressed
●The clutch pedal is not fully
released, such as if a foot is rest-
ing on the clutch pedal
*
●Shift operation is performed after
the vehicle has been coasting with
