• Shift position (except manual transmission)
The recorded data varies according to the vehicle grade level and options
with which it is equipped. Furthermore, these computers do not record con-
versations, sounds or pictures.

tions, conduct research and development, and improve quality.

YARIS_HB_U_52D44U
■Downshift restriction
The maximum allowable speeds are as follows.
■ AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suit able gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
When driving downhill, there may be cases where the vehicle shifts down
automatically to obtain engine braking. As a result of the downshifting, the
engine speed may increase.
■ When driving with the cruise control system (if equipped)
Engine braking will not occur when downshifting from D. ( →P. 158)
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
→ P. 328
CAUTION
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.
DownshiftingMaximum speed mph (km/h)
3 → 2 53 (85)
2 → L 25 (40)
