When the “S” mode indicator light does
not come on even with the selector lever
moved to the “S” position, there may be a
problem somewhere in the system. Have
your vehicle checked/repaired by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible. In this
case, you can drive in the same condition
as in the “D” position.
(d) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, you can downshift
the transmission as follows:
When driving in the “D” position—
Shift the selector lever to “S” position.
When driving in the “5” range within
the “S” position—
Move the selector lever down to the
“− ” side to select the “4” range. The
transmission will downshift to fourth
range and engine braking will be en-
abled.
When the cruise control is being used,
engine braking can not be enabled be-
cause the cruise control is not can-
celled. However, engine braking will be
automatically enabled if the vehicle
speed is higher than the set speed of
the cruise control depending on the
driving conditions. For decreasing the vehicle speed, see
“Cruise control” on page 262 in this
Section.
Move the selector lever down to the
“
− ” side to select the “3” range. The
transmission will downshift to third
range when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than the following
speed, and stronger engine braking will
be enabled.

“2” (Second range):
First or second gear will be selected
automatically according to the vehicle
speed and driving conditions. This
range is to be used when engine brak-
ing stronger than that of the “3” range
position is necessary.
“1” (First range):
The gear is fixed in first regardless of
vehicle speed and driving conditions.
This range is to be used when maxi-
mum engine braking is necessary.
If you attempt to downshift the transmis-
sion when it is not possible to downshift
due to high vehicle speed, a warning tone
sounds twice. Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
range:

To prevent injuries and accidents, se-
curely fix all electric appliances be-
fore use and do not use any ap-
pliances that may do any of the fol-
lowing:
Distract the driver while driving, or
hamper safe driving.
Result in a fire or burn injuries due
to the appliance rolling, falling or
overheating while driving.
Emit steam, while the windows of
the cabin are closed.
Do not perform any of the following.
Doing so is very dangerous and may
cause unexpected accidents, such as
electric shocks.
Using the power outlet for electric
heaters while sleeping.
Contaminating the power outlet with
liquid substances or mud.
Handling electrical appliance plugs
at the power outlet with wet hands
or feet.
Inserting foreign objects into the
power outlet.
Using malfunctioning electric ap-
pliances.
Inserting inappropriate or badly fit-
ting plugs into the power outlet.
NOTICE
 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn off all the vehicle’s
electronic equipment and accesso-
ries, such as the headlights, fog
lights and air conditioning, when
electrical appliances that consume
in excess of 100W are used contin-
uously for long periods of time.
 To prevent any damage caused by
heat, do not use any electrical ap-
pliances that give off intense heat
such as toasters, in any locations
including the internal or external
trim, seats and deck.
 Do not use any electrical ap-
pliances, which are easily affected
by vibration or heat, inside the ve-
hicle. Vibration while driving, or the
heat of the sun while parking, may
result in damage to those electrical
appliances.
Keep the lid closed when the power
outlet is not in use. Do not insert
any items other than appropriate
plugs, as this may cause electrical
failure or short circuits.
 After inserting a plug, gently close
the power outlet lid. Failure to do
so may cause damage to the plug.
 If any electrical appliances are to
be used while driving, securely fas-
ten both the appliances and their
cables to prevent them from falling
or getting caught any of the power-
train components.
 Do not use plug adaptors to con-
nect too many plugs to the power
outlet.
 If the power outlet is loose when an
electrical appliance plug is con-
nected, replace the outlet. Contact
a Toyota dealer for any necessary
replacements.
