IS250/220d/200d_EE
Selecting shift ranges in the D position (if equipped)
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” shift
paddle switch. The shift range can then be selected by operating
the “-” and “+” shift paddle switches. Changing the shift range
allows restriction of the upper limit of the gears to be used, pre-
venting unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine
braking force to be selected.
Higher shift range
Lower shift range
The selected shift range, from 1
to 6, will be displayed in the
meter cluster.
To return to normal D position
driving, the “+” shift paddle
switch must be held down for a
period of time.

When driving
IS250/220d/200d_EE
Changing shift ranges in S mode
To enter S mode, shift the shift lever to the S position. The shift
range can then be selected by operating the “-” and “+” shift pad-
dle switches (if equipped) or the shift lever. Changing the shift
range allows restriction of the upper limit of the gears to be used,
preventing unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine
braking force to be selected.
Higher shift range
Lower shift range
The selected shift range, from 1
to 6, will be displayed in the
meter cluster.
The initial shift range in S mode is automatically set to 5 or 4
according to vehicle speed. However, the initial shift range may be
set to 3 or 2 if the AI-SHIFT has operated while the shift lever was
in the D position.

When the “-” shift paddle switch is operated in the D position
When the “-” shift paddle switch is operated in the D position, a shift range
will be automatically selected. The highest gear of the first shift range will
be one gear lower than the gear in use during normal D position driving.
Automatic deactivation of shift range selection in the D position
Shift range selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following
situations:
When the vehicle comes to a stop
When range 6 is selected and the accelerator pedal is depressed
If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of
time
To protect automatic transmission
A function is adopted that automatically selects a higher shift range when
the fluid temperature is high.
Gear range display when driving
The current gear is displayed on the multi-information display. (P. 184)
Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
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 shift paddle switch is operated. (The
warning buzzer will sound twice.)
When driving with the cruise control system or dynamic radar cruise control
system
Engine braking will not occur during shift range selection in the D position
or S mode, even when downshifting to range 5 or 4. (P. 198, 202)
Snow mode automatic deactivation
Snow mode is automatically deactivated if the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch is turned off after driving in snow mode.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
