Driving in the “M” position
By shifting the shift lever into the “M” position, 6 stages of gear can be
switched between.
Upshifting
Downshifting
Unless the shift lever or paddle
shift switches (if equipped) are
operated, the gear displayed on
the meter cluster is fixed.
However, even when in the “M” position, the gear will be automati-
cally changed in the following situations:
When the vehicle speed drops (downshift only)
When the automatic transmission fluid temperature is extremely
high (upshift only)

If the automatic transmission temperature warning message is dis-
played
AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the “D” position.
(Shifting the shift lever to the “M” position cancels the function.)
The engine speed may remain high after releasing the accelerator pedal.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
If the automatic transmission fluid tem-
perature warning message is displayed
while driving, make sure you return to
normal “D” position driving and reduce
speed by easing off the accelerator pedal.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, shift the
shift lever to the “P” position and let the
engine idle until the warning message is
extinguished.
When the warning message is no longer
shown, the vehicle can be driven again.
If the warning message is not extin-
guished even after a short time, have
your vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
