When driving
tC_OM_OM21046U_(U)
■
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.
●While driving in S mode, downshifting to 5 or 4. (P. 181)
● While driving in the D position, downshifting to 5 or 4. (Vehicles with pad-
dle shift switches only: P. 180)
■ 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.
(Shifting the shift lever to the S position cancels the function.)
■ If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to S position
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Scion dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in the D position.)
■ 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 or a paddle shift switch (if equipped) is
operated. (The warning buzzer will sound twice.)
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
