WARNING
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. 2 0 1 )
■ To avoid accident or injury
● Do not tow a trailer when the temporary spare tire is installed on your vehi-
cle.
● Do not tow a trailer when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit.
● Do not use cruise control (if equipped) when trailer towing.
■ Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
■ Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. However, never downshift suddenly while
descending steep or long downhill grades.
■ 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.

Driving
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)
■When the vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the M position
●The transmission will automatically downshift to M1 once the vehicle is
stopped.
●After a stop, the vehicle will start off in M1.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the transmission is set at M1.
■Paddle shift switch (if equipped)
●When the paddle shift switch is operated with the shift lever in the D posi-
tion, a gear step will be automatically selected according to the vehicle
speed and driving conditions.
●Automatic deactivation of gear step selection with the shift lever in the D
position
Gear step selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following situ-
ations:
• When the vehicle comes to a stop
• If the accelerator pedal is depressed for longer than a certain period of
time in one gear step
• When the shift lever is shifted to a position other than D
■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. (The warning buzzer will sound twice.)
■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. 289)
●When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D position.
(P. 221)
■Automatic deactivation of sport mode
If the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart
entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system) after
driving in sport mode, the mode is automatically deactivated.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or ON mode (vehi-
cles with smart entry & start system) and the brake pedal is being depressed.
