shift lever operation may not be possible. Depress the brake pedal before
shifting the shift lever out of P.
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
If downshifting operations are performed at a vehicle speed by which down-
shifting is not possible (when downshifting will cause the engi ne speed to
enter the red zone), a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that downshifting
cannot be performed.
■ When driving with cruise control activated
Downshifting can be performed even when using cruise control. A fter down-
shifting, the set speed continues. ( P. 181, 183)

on a slippery road, the transmission may automatically shift to 2
nd gear for
stopping and starting off.
■ Temporary manual mode driving
*1: Vehicles with a monochrome multi-information display
*2: Vehicles with a color multi-information display
Temporary manual mode driving will be deactivated and normal D position
driving will be returned to in the following situations:
● When driving for longer than the set time (the set time differs according
to driving conditions).
● When the vehicle comes to a stop.
● When the accelerator pedal is continually depressed for longer than the
set time.
● When the accelerator pedal is fully, or near-fully, depressed.
Temporary manual mode driving can be
changed to by operating the paddle shift
switches while the shift lever is in the D
position.
When this occurs, the selected gear and
“D” are displayed on the shift position and
shift range indicator.
(When engine speed rises close to the
