2724-2. Driving procedures
LS460/LS460L_GE (OM50G06E)
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.

■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.
