1564-2. Driving procedures
Lexus dealer.
■Continuously variable transmission fail-
safe control
The system detects ma lfunctioning parts
targeted (all of the so lenoids that perform
the shifting function) by the On-Board
Diagnostics, and performs fail-safe mecha-
nisms, such as restrict ing the shifting func-
tion or transmission ratio control. In this
event, the malfunction indicator lamp turns
on.
■When driving with dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range activated
Even when switching the driving mode to
Sport mode while driving in D position
( P.243) with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate
because radar cruise control with full-
speed range will not be canceled.
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start
Control)
P.143
■AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable
gear step according to driver performance
and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the
driving mode is set to Normal mode with
the shift lever in the D position. (Shifting the
shift lever to the M position cancels the
function.)
■G AI-SHIFT
G AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suit-
able gear step according to driver’s input
and driving conditions. G AI-SHIFT oper-
ates automatically when the shift lever is in
the D position and Sport mode is selected
for the driving mode. (Selecting normal
mode or shifting the shift lever to the M
position cancels the function.)
While the engine switch is in
ON and the brake pedal depressed*,
shift the shift lever while pushing the
shift release button on the shift knob.
Shift the shift lever while push-
ing the shift release button on the shift
knob.
Shift the shift lever normally.
When shifting the shift lever between P
and D, make sure that the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped and the brake pedal is
depressed.
*: For the vehicle be able to be shifted from P, the brake pedal must be depressed
before the shift releas e button is pushed.
If the shift release button is pushed first,
the shift lock will not be released.
■Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent
accidental operation of the shift lever in
starting.
WARNING
■When driving on slippery road sur-
faces
Be careful-of downshifting and sudden
acceleration, as this could result in the
vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.

Driving
Turns the brake hold system on
The brake hold standby indicator
comes on. While the system is holding the
brake, the brake hold operated indicator comes on.
■Brake hold system operating conditions
The brake hold system cannot be turned on
in the following conditions:
●The driver’s door is not closed.
●The driver is not wearing the seat belt.
●“Parking Brake Unavailable” or “EPB
Malfunction Visit Your Dealer” is dis-
played on the multi- information display.
If any of the conditions above are detected
when the brake hold system is enabled, the
system will turn off and the brake hold
standby indicator light will go off. In addi- tion, if any of the co
nditions are detected
while the system is holding the brake, a
warning buzzer will sound and a message
will be shown on the multi-information dis-
play. The parking brake will then be set
automatically.
■Brake hold function
●If the brake pedal is left released for a
period of about 3 mi nutes after the sys-
tem 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-informa-
tion display.
●To turn the system off while the system is
holding the brake, firmly depress the
brake pedal and press the button again.
●The brake hold function may not hold the
vehicle when the vehicle is on a steep
incline. In this situation, it may be neces-
sary for the driver to apply the brakes. A
warning buzzer will sound and the multi-
information display will inform the driver
of this situation. If a warning message is
shown on the multi-information display,
read the message and follow the instruc-
tions.
■When the parking brake is set automati-
cally while the system is holding the
brakes
Perform any of the following operations to
release the parking brake.
●Depress the accelerator pedal. (The
parking brake will not be released auto-
matically if the seat belt is not fastened.)
●Operate the parking brake switch with
the brake pedal depressed.
Make sure that the pa rking brake indicator
light goes off. ( P.160)
■When an inspection at your Lexus
dealer is necessary
When the brake hold standby indicator
(green) does not illuminate even when the
brake hold switch is pressed with the brake
hold system operating conditions met, the
system may be malfun ctioning. Have the
vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
Brake Hold

brake applied when the shift lever is
in D, M or N with the system on and
the brake pedal has been
depressed to stop the vehicle. The
system releases the brake when the
accelerator pedal is depressed with
the shift lever in D or M to allow
smooth start off.
