2084-2. Driving procedures
CAMRY_U (01999-06122)
■Automatic deactivation of shift range selection in the D position
Shift range selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following situ-
ations:
●The “+” paddle shift switch is held down for a period of time
●When the vehicle comes to a stop
●If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of time
●When the shift lever is shifted to a position other than D
■S mode
●When the shift range is 7 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the
shift range to 8.
●To prevent the engine from over-revving, upshifting may automatically
occur.
●To protect the automatic transmission, a function is adopted that automati-
cally selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.
■Downshift restriction warning buzzer (S mode or paddle shifting)
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 switches are operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)
■When driving with dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range or
dynamic radar cruise control or cruise control activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control or dynamic
radar cruise control with full speed range or dynamic radar cruise control will
not be canceled.
●While driving in D or S mode, downshifting to 7, 6, 5 or 4.
(
→P. 263, 276, 289)
●When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in the D posi-
tion. (
→P. 343)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-start Control)
→P. 185
■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 a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with a smart key system), the brake pedal is depressed and the shift
release button is pushed.

in the instrument cluster.
Sport mode
Use sport mode when increased acceleration response and precise
handling is desired, for example, when driving on mountain roads.

■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency (→P. 350, 355). To improve
air conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■Sport mode automatic deactivation
Sport mode is automatically deactivated if the engine switch is turned off after
driving in sport mode.
