To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” or “+”pad-
dle shift switch while the shift lever is in the D position.
Changing the shift range allows restriction of the highest gear, preventing
unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to
be selected.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range is downshifted to a
range that enables engine braking force that is suitable to driving conditions.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to
D8, will be displayed in the meter.
To return to normal D position driving,
the “+” paddle shift switch must be
held down for a period of time.
■Shift ranges and their functions
A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking forces than a higher shift
range.

To enter M mode, shift the shift lever to the M position.
Gears can be selected by operating the shift lever or paddle shift
switches, allowing you to drive in the gear of your choosing.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear changes once every time the
shift lever or paddle shift switch is
operated.
The selected gear, from M1 to M8, will
be fixed and displayed in the meter.
●When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the shift
lever or paddle shift switches are operated. However, even when in
the M position, the gears will be automatically changed in the follow-
ing situation:
• When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
• When the automatic transmission fluid or engine coolant tem-
perature is low.
• When the automatic transmission fluid temperature is high.
• When the needle of the tachometer is in the red zone (the range
which exceeds the allowable revs of the engine).
●When in the vehicle speed is low, the gear will not upshift even if the
shift lever or paddle shift switches are operated.

The Gear Shift Indicator display is a guide to help the driver achieve
improved fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions within limits of
engine performance.

■Gear Shift Indicator function
●This function automatically operates during M mode.
●By following the Shift-up indicator and shifting up accordingly, it is
possible to achieve improved fu el economy and reduced exhaust
emissions.
●The Gear Shift Indicator does not have a similar function for down-
shifting.
●Depending on the driving conditions, the Gear Shift Indicator may
not display the Shift-up indicator while driving in M mode.

Right-hand drive vehicles
■If the automatic transmission fluid temperature warning message is displayed
If the automatic transmission fluid temperature warning message is displayed while
driving, make sure you return to normal D position driving and reduce speed by eas-
ing 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 goes out.
When the warning message goes out, the vehicle can be driven again.
If the warning message does not go out after waiting a while, have your vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
■AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position. (Shift-
ing the shift lever to the M position cancels the function.) Pry the cover up with a flathead screw-
driver or equivalent tool.
To prevent damage to the cover, cover
the tip of the screwdriver with a rag.
Press the shift lock override button.
The shift lever can be shifted while the
button is pressed.

CAUTION
■When driving on slippery road surfaces
Be careful of downshifting and sudden acceleration, as this could result in the vehi-
cle skidding to the side or spinning.
■Gear Shift Indicator display (if equipped)
For safety, the driver should not look only at the display. Refer to the display when it
is safe to do so while considering actual traffic and road conditions.
Failure to do so may lead to an accident.
■To prevent an accident when releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock override button, make sure to set the parking brake
and depress the brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is accidentally depressed instead of the brake pedal when
the shift lock override button is pressed and the shift lever is shifted out of P, the
vehicle may suddenly start, possibly leading to an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.

■Brake hold function
●If the brake pedal is left released for a period of about 3 minutes after the system
has started holding the brake, the parking brake will be set automatically. In this
case, a warning buzzer sounds and a message is shown on the multi-information
display.
●To turn the system off while the system is holding the brake, firmly depress the
brake pedal and press the switch again.
●The brake hold function may not hold the vehicle when the vehicle is on a steep
incline. In this situation, it may be necessary for the driver to apply the brakes. The
multi-information display will inform the driver of this situation.
■When the parking brake is set automatically while the system is holding the brakes
The parking brake will not be released automatically. Release the parking brake by
operating the parking brake switch, making sure that the parking brake indicator
light goes off. ( P. 279)
■When there is a malfunction in the system
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on or flash. ( P. 607, 614)
CAUTION
■When the vehicle is on a steep incline
When using the brake hold system on a steep incline exercise caution. The brake
hold function may not hold the vehicle in such a situation.
■When stopped on a slippery road
The system cannot stop the vehicle when the gripping ability of the tires has been
exceeded. Do not use the system when stopped on a slippery road.
NOTICE
■When parking the vehicle
The brake hold system is not designed for use when parking the vehicle for a long
period of time. Turning the engine switch off while the system is holding the brake
may release the brake, which would cause the vehicle to move. When operating
the engine switch, depress the brake pedal, set the parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.

Dynamic radar cruise control supplements conventional cruise control
with a vehicle-to-vehicle distance co ntrol. In vehicle-to-vehicle distance
control mode, the vehicle automatically accelerates or decelerates in
order to maintain a set following distance from vehicles ahead.
