Shift position uses
*1: Shifting to the “D” position allows the system to select a gear suitable
for the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the “D” position is
recommended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using “S” mode restricts the upper limit of the
possible gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents
unnecessary upshifting.

L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)Shift ranges and their functions
Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to
vehicle speed and driving conditions. But, the gear is limited
according to selected shift range.
You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.
A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than
a higher shift range, and the engine speed will also increase.
“S” mode
When the shift range is “5” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to “6”.
To prevent excessive engine speed, a function was adopted that auto-
matically selects a higher shift range before the engine speed becomes
too high.
To protect the automatic transmission, a function is adopted that auto-
matically selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.
Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the “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.)
When driving with the 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.
While driving in “S” mode, downshifting to “5” or “4”. (P. 233)
When switching the driving mode to power mode while driving in “D”
position. (P. 196)

Second start mode automatic deactivation
Second start mode is automatically deactivated if the engine is turned off
after driving in second start mode.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from “P”
P. 625
If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to “S”
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission system. Have
the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional, immediately.
(In this situation, the vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in “D”.)
AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically shifts the gear to the suitable position according
to the driver performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the “D” posi-
tion. (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. (
P. 634)
While driving
When the voltmeter indicates more than 19 V or less than 9 V, the battery
may be malfunctioning. Have your vehicle checked at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
When the engine oil pressure gauge does not work properly, immediately
stop the engine and contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.

CAUTION
If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as Multi Terrain ABS and the 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 any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional, immediately if this occurs.
