■Manually shifting down
You can shift gears down by operating the shift lever.
M6 → M5 → M4 → M3 → M2 → M1
To shift down to a lower gear,
tap the selector lever forward
once.
■Second gear fixed mode
When the selector lever is moved back while the vehicle speed is
about 6.2 mph (10 km/h) or less, the transaxle is set in the second
gear fixed mode. The gear is fixed in second while in this mode for
easier acceleration from a stop and driving on slippery roads such
as snow-covered roads.
If the selector lever is moved back or forward while in the sec-
ond gear fixed mode, the mode will be canceled.

When Driving
■Shift gear (shifting) speed limit
For each gear position while in the manual mode, the speed limit is
set as follows: When the selector lever is operated within the range
of the speed limit, the gear is shifted.
●Shift up
The gear does not shift up while the vehicle speed is lower than
the speed limit.
● Shift down
The gear does not shift down while the vehicle speed exceeds
the speed limit.
If the vehicle speed exceeds th e speed limit and the gear does
not shift down, the gear position indication flashes 2 times to
notify the driver that the gear cannot be shifted.
● Kickdown
When the accelerator pedal is depressed fully while driving, the
gear shifts down.
The gear also shifts down using kickdown while in the second gear
fixed mode.
●Auto-shift down
The gear shifts down automatically depending on the vehicle
speed during deceleration.
If the vehicle comes to a stop while in the second gear fixed mode,
the gear remains in second.

■Recommendations for shifting
●Upshifting
For normal acceleration and cruisi ng, Toyota recommends these
shift points:
*1: Always observe local speed limit regulations.
● Downshifting
When you must slow down in heavy traffic or on a steep upgrade,
downshift before the engine starts to overwork. This gives better
acceleration when you need more speed.
On a steep downgrade, downshifting helps maintain safe speed
and prolongs brake life.
■ Manual Shift Mode
●Changing to manual shift mode while driving will not damage the transaxle.
● If you change to manual shift mode when the vehicle is stopped, the gear
will shift to M1.
● If you change to manual shift mode without depressing the accelerator
pedal when driving in D range, 5th gear/6th gear, the gear will shift to M4/
M5.
■ Indicators
●If the gears cannot be shifted down when driving at higher speeds, the gear
position indication will flash twice to signal that the gears cannot be shifted
down (to protect the transaxle).
● If the automatic transaxle fluid (ATF) temperature becomes too high, there is
the possibility that the transaxle will switch to automatic shift mode, cancel-
ing manual shift mode and turning off the gear position indication illumina-
tion. This is a normal function to protect the AT. After the ATF temperature
has decreased, the gear position indication illumination turns back on a\
nd
driving in manual shift mode is restored.

When Driving
Drive Selection (Automatic Transaxle)∗
●When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speeds increases
and it may increase fuel consumption. Toyota recommends that you cancel
the sport mode on normal driving.
● Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
• ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
• Steering wheel is being operated abruptly
Press the drive selection switch to
the side (forward) to select
the sport mode.
Pull the drive selection switch to
the side (backward) to cancel
the sport mode.
●When the ignition is switched off, the sport mode is canceled.
● Depending on the driving conditions when sport mode is selected, the vehi-
cle may perform shift-down or slightly accelerate.
∗: If equipped
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle’s drive mode.
When the sport mode is selected, vehicle’s response against
accelerator operation is enhanced. This provides additional
quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make maneu-
vers such as lane changes, merging onto free ways, or passing
other vehicles.
WARNING
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such as wet or
snow-covered roads. It may cause tire slipping.
