Driving
*: If equipped
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce
noise, shift the shift lever to D for nor-
mal driving.
■To protect the Multidrive
If the Multidrive fluid temperature is
high, “Transmission Oil Temp. High Stop in a Safe Place and See Owner’s Man-ual” will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display and the vehicle will go into transmission protection mode auto-matically. Have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■When driving with dynamic radar
cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range (if equipped)
Even when switching the driving mode to power mode with the intent of enabling engine braking, engine braking
will not occur because dynamic radar cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range will not be
canceled. ( P.299)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive- Start Control)
 P. 1 6 5
■G AI-SHIFT
G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a suit- able gear for sporty driving according to driver’s input and driving conditions. G
AI-SHIFT operates automatically when the shift lever is in D and power mode is selected for the driving mode. (Selecting
other than power mode or shifting the shift lever to the other position cancels this function)

■When driving on slippery road
surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an accident.

To drive using temporary shift
range selection, operate the “-” or
“+” paddle shift switch.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is
operated, the gear step switches to
a range that enables engine brak-
ing force that is suitable to driving
conditions. When the “+” paddle
shift switch is operated, the gear
step switches to a step that is one
step higher than the current step.
Changing the gear step allows
restriction of the highest gear step,
preventing unnecessary upshifting
and enabling the level of engine
braking force to be selected.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected gear step, from D1 to
D10, will be displayed on the multi-
information display.
■Gear step functions
●10 levels of accelerating force and engine braking can be selected.
●A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than a higher
gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.
■Deactivation of temporary 10-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic mode
In the following situations, temporary 10- speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic mode will be deactivated:
●When the vehicle is stopped
●If the accelerator pedal is depressed continuously for more than a certain amount of time while in one gear step
●If the accelerator pedal is depressed
abruptly and heavily
●When the shift lever is shifted to a
position other than D
●When the “+” paddle shift switch is
operated for a certain amount of time continuously

WARNING
■To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking brake and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal when the shift lock override button is
pressed and the shift lever is shifted out of P, the vehicle may suddenly start, possibly leading to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.

mance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some cir- cumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the paddle shift
switch is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
To enter 10-speed sport sequential
shiftmatic mode, shift the shift lever
to M position. Gear steps can then
be selected by operating the shift
lever or paddle shift switches (if
equipped), allowing you to drive in
the gear step of your choosing.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The gear step changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switches (if
equipped) is operated.
The selected gear step, from M1 to
M10, will be displayed on the multi-
information display.
However, even when in the M posi-
tion, the gear steps will be automat-
ically changed if the engine speed
is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
●10 levels of accelerating force and engine braking can be selected.
●A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force than a higher
gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.
■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.
■Downshifting restriction warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor-
mance, downshifting operation may sometimes be restricted. In some cir-cumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever or paddle shift switch is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■If the 10-speed sport sequential
shiftmatic mode indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the Multidrive system. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.(In this situation, the transmission will
operate in the same manner as when the shift lever is in D.)
