■ Downshifting restrictions (standard type)
The maximum allowable speeds are as follows.
■ S mode (multi-mode type)
When the shift range is “3” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to “5”.
■ AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the optimal gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
Standard type
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
Multi-mode type
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
(Shifting the shift lever to the S position cancels the function.)
■ When driving with the cruise control system
Standard type
The engine brake will not operate when downshifting from D to 3. ( →P. 209)
Multi-mode type
Engine braking will not occur in S mode, even when downshifting to “4”.
(
→P. 209)
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
→P. 593
■ If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to S (multi-mode type)
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
