Driving
CAUTION
Follow all the instructions described in this section. Failure to do so could
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded.
(P. 243)
Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed then use the engine braking.
Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of time.
Doing so may result in the brake overheating or reduce braking effects.
To avoid accident or injury
Vehicles with a cruise control: Do not use cruise control when you are tow-
ing.
Vehicles with a compact spare tire: Do not tow a trailer when the compact
spare tire is installed on your vehicle.
Vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit: Do not tow the vehicle
when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit.
NOTICE
Do not directly splice trailer lights
Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle's electrical system
and cause a malfunction.

2884-2. Driving procedures
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)Automatic deactivation of gear step selection in the D position (vehicles
with a paddle shift switch)
Temporary gear steps selection mode in the D position will be deactivated in
the following situations:
When the vehicle comes to a stop
If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of time in
one gear step
When the shift lever is shifted to other than D
When the “+” paddle shift switch is held down for a period of time
When driving with cruise control activated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not be
canceled.
While driving in D or 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, downshifting
to 6, 5 or 4. (P. 286, 287)
When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D position.
(P. 285)
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 paddle shift switch (if equipped) is oper-
ated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
Sport mode automatic deactivation
Sport mode is automatically deactivated if the engine switch is turned off after
driving in sport mode.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 682
CAUTION
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Be careful of downshifting and sudden acceleration, as this could result in
the vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.

3024-2. Driving procedures
UK_AURIS/AURIS_HV_EE (OM12F76E)Alarms
If an attempt is made to change the shift position by moving the shift lever or
by pressing the P position switch in any of the following situations, a buzzer
will sound and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position will
automatically change to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift
position.
Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P to another
position by moving the shift lever without depressing the brake pedal.
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from P or N to B
by moving the shift lever.
Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
• When the P position switch is pressed while the vehicle is running.
*1
• When an attempt is made to select the R position by moving the shift
lever when the vehicle is moving forward.
*2
• When an attempt is made to select the D position by moving the shift
lever when the vehicle is moving in reverse.
*3
• When an attempt is made to change the shift position from R to B by
moving the shift lever.
*1: Shift position may be changed to P when driving at extremely low speeds.
*2: Shift position may be changed to R when driving at low speeds.
*3: Shift position may be changed to D when driving at low speeds.
When driving with cruise control activated (if equipped)
Even if switching the driving mode to power mode with the intent of enabling
engine braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not
be canceled. (P. 332)
Customization
Settings (e. g. Reverse warning buzzer) can be changed.
(Customizable feature P. 737)
