Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. (P. 368) To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the temperature setting or fan speed, or
turn off Eco drive mode.
When in heavy traffic
If the shift lever is in N, the hybrid battery (traction battery) will not be
charged. To help prevent the battery from discharging, avoid putting the shift
lever in N for an extended period of time.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 616
CAUTION
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.

When driving
YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
Changing gear steps in 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode
Shift the shift lever to the M position and operate the shift lever or
paddle shift switch.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear step changes once
every time the shift lever or pad-
dle shift switch is operated.
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed in the multi-
information display.
However, even when in the M position, the gear steps will be auto-
matically changed if the engine speed is too high, or too low.
Gear step functions
You can choose from 7 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.

YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
Temporally gear steps selection mode in the D position
To drive in temporary gear steps selection mode, operate the “-” and
“+” paddle shift switch. The gear steps can then be selected by oper-
ating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches. By selecting gear step
using paddle shift switches, you can control engine braking forces.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear step changes once
every time the paddle shift switch
is operated.
The selected gear step, from 1 to
7, will be displayed in the multi-
information display
Gear step functions
P. 257
Deactivation of the temporally gear steps selection mode in the D posi-
tion
In the following situations, temporally gear steps selection mode in the D
position will be deactivated:

When driving with the cruise control activated (if equipped)
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 D or 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, down-
shifting to 6, 5, or 4. (P. 257)
• When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D posi-
tion. (P. 256)
When the vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the M position
The transmission will automatically 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.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 616
If the “M” indicator flashes or a buzzer beeps after shifting the shift
lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the Multidrive system. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
Downshift restriction warning buzzer (vehicles with a 7-speed sport
sequential shiftmatic 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 or paddle shift switches are operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)
CAUTION
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gear steps suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.
