1Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected shift range, from S1 to
S8 will be display ed on the multi-
information display.
The initial shift range in S mode
is set automatically to 4, 5 or 6
according to vehicle speed.
However, the initial shift range
may be set to 3 if AI-SHIFT has
operated while the shift lever
was in the D position. ( P.200)
■S mode
●You can choose from 8 levels of
accelerating force and engine
braking force.
●A lower shift ra nge will provide
greater accelerating force and
engine braking force than a higher
shift range, and t he engine revolu-
tions will also increase.
●To prevent the e ngine from over-
revving, upshifti ng may automati-
cally occur.
●To protect the automatic transmis-
sion, a function is adopted that
automatically selec t s a h i g h e r s h i f t
range when the fluid temperature
is high.
●When the shift range is 7 or lower,
holding the shift lever toward “+”
sets the shift range to 8.
■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 is operated. (A buzzer will
sound twice.)
■If the “S” indi cator does not
come on or the “D” indicator is
displayed even after shifting the
shift lever to S
This may indicate a malfunction in
the automatic transmission system.
Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer imme diately. (In this
situation, the tran smission will oper-
ate in the same manner as when the
shift lever is in D.)

tem is enabled, the system will turn
off and the brake hold standby indi-
cator light will go off. In addition, if
any of the conditions are detected
while the system is holding the
brake, a warning buzzer will sound
and a message will be shown on the
multi-information display. The park-
ing brake will then be set automati-
cally.

steep incline
When using the brake hold sys-
tem on a steep in cline, exercise
caution. The brake hold function
may not hold the vehicle in such a
situation.
■When stopped on a slippery
road
The system cannot stop the vehi-

■If a warning message is dis-
played on the multi-information
display
A system may be temporarily
unavailable or there may be a mal-
function in the system.
●In the following situations, perform
the actions specif ied in the table.
When the normal operating condi-
tions are detecte d, the message
will disappear and the system will
become operational.
If the message does not disappear,
contact your Toyota dealer.
SituationActions
When the area
around a sensor
is covered with
dirt, moisture
(fogged up, cov-
ered with con-
densation, ice,
etc.), or other
foreign matter
To clean the part
of the wind-
shield in front of
the front camera,
use the wind-
shield wipers or
the windshield
defogger of the
air conditioning
system ( P.505,
512).When the tem-
perature around
the front camera
is outside of the
operational
range, such as
when the vehi-
cle is in the sun
or in an
extremely cold
environment
If the front cam-
era is hot, such
as after the vehi-
cle had been
parked in the
sun, use the air
conditioning sys-
tem to decrease
the temperature
around the front
camera.
If a sunshade
was used when
the vehicle was
parked, depend-
ing on its type,
the sunlight
reflected from
the surface of
the sunshade
may cause the
temperature of
the front camera
to become
excessively high.
If the front cam-
era is cold, such
as after the vehi-
cle is parked in
an extremely
cold environ-
ment, use the air
conditioning sys-
tem to increase
the temperature
around the front
camera.

■Pre-collision warning
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, a buzzer will
sound and a warning message
will be displayed on the multi-
information display to urge the
driver to take evasive action.
■Pre-collision brake assist
When the system determines
that the possibility of a frontal
collision is high, the system
applies greater braking force in
relation to how strongly the
brake pedal is depressed.
■Pre-collision braking
If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is extremely high, the
brakes are automatically applied
to help avoid the collision or
reduce the impact of the colli-
sion.
System functionsWA R N I N G
■Limitations of the pre-colli-
sion system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision sys-
tem instead of normal braking
operations under any circum-
stances. This system will not
prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every
situation. Do no t overly rely on
this system. Failure to do so
may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
●Although this system is
designed to help avoid a colli-
sion or help reduce the impact
of the collision, its effectiveness
may change according to vari-
ous conditions, therefore the
system may not always be able
to achieve the same level of
performance.
Read the followin g conditions
carefully. Do not overly rely on
this system and always drive
carefully.
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may operate even if there is
no possibility o f a collision:
 P.235
• Conditions under which the sys- tem may not operate properly:
 P.236
●Do not attempt to test the oper-
ation of the pre -collision system
yourself.
Depending on the objects used
for testing (dummies, card-
board objects imitating detect-
able objects, etc.), the system
may not operate properly, possi-
bly leading to an accident.
