Automatic Transaxle Controls
Various Lockouts:
The Sport AT has an option that is not included in the traditional automatic
transaxle that gives the driver the option of selecting each gear instead of
leaving it to the transaxle to shift gears. Even if you intend to use the auto-
matic transaxle functions as a traditional automatic, you should also be aware
that you can inadvertently shift into manual shift mode and an inappropriate
gear may be retained as the vehicle speed increases. If you notice the engine
speed going higher or hear the engine racing, confirm you have not acciden-
tally slipped into manual shift mode (→P. 168).

When Driving
Drive Selection (Automatic Transaxle)∗
●When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speeds increases
and it may increase fuel consumption. Toyota recommends that you cancel
the sport mode on normal driving.
● Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
• ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
• Steering wheel is being operated abruptly
Press the drive selection switch to
the side (forward) to select
the sport mode.
Pull the drive selection switch to
the side (backward) to cancel
the sport mode.
●When the ignition is switched off, the sport mode is canceled.
● Depending on the driving conditions when sport mode is selected, the vehi-
cle may perform shift-down or slightly accelerate.
∗: If equipped
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle’s drive mode.
When the sport mode is selected, vehicle’s response against
accelerator operation is enhanced. This provides additional
quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make maneu-
vers such as lane changes, merging onto free ways, or passing
other vehicles.
WARNING
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such as wet or
snow-covered roads. It may cause tire slipping.
