■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 7 levels of engine braking force.
● A lower gear step will provide greater engine braking force tha n a higher
gear step, and the engine speed will also increase.
■ If the 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode indicator does not come
on even after shifting the shift lever to M
This may indicate a malfunction in the continuously variable tr ansmission
system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same m anner as when
the shift lever is in D.)
■ When the vehicle comes to a stop with the shift lever in the M position
● The transmission will automatically downshift to M1 once the ve hicle is
stopped.
● After a stop, the vehicle will start off in M1.
● When the vehicle is stopped, the transmission is set at M1.
■ When driving with dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of e nabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise contro l will not be
canceled.
● When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D position.
( P. 281)
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting ope ration may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting ma y not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-start Control)
P. 166
■ 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), and the brake pedal is bein g depressed.

Driving assist system
WARNING
■ Toyota Safety Sense 2.5
The Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 is designed to operate under the as sumption
that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help redu ce the impact to
the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or ass ist the driver in
normal driving conditions.
As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-
mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The
driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicl e’s surround-
ings and driving safely.

LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
While driving on a road with clear white (yellow) lane lines, t he LTA
system warns the driver if the vehicle may deviate from the cur rent
lane or course
*, and also can slightly operate the steering wheel to
help avoid deviation from the lane or course
*. Also, while the dynamic
radar cruise control with full-s peed range is operating, this s ystem will
operate the steering wheel to ma intain the vehicle’s lane position.
The LTA system recognizes white
(yellow) lane lines or a course
*
using the front camera. Addition-
ally, it detects preceding vehicles
using the front camera and radar.
*: Boundary between asphalt and the side of the road, such as grass, soil,
or a curb
Summary of functions
WARNING
■ Before using LTA system
● Do not rely solely upon the LTA system. The LTA system does not auto-
matically drive the vehicle or reduce the amount of attention that must be
paid to the area in front of the vehicle. The driver must always assume full
responsibility for driving safely by paying careful attention to the surround-
ing conditions and operating the steering wheel to correct the path of the
vehicle. Also, the driver must take adequate breaks when fatigu ed, such
as from driving for a long period of time.
● Failure to perform appropriate driving operations and pay caref ul attention
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

Vehicle sway warning function
When the vehicle is swaying
within a lane, the warning
buzzer will sound and a mes-
sage will be disp
layed on the
multi-information display to alert
the driver.
■Lane centering function
This function is linked with
dynamic radar cruise control
with full-speed range and pro-
vides the required assistance
by operating the steering wheel
to keep the vehicle in its current
lane.
When dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range is not
operating, the lane centering
function does not operate.
In situations where the white
(yellow) lane lines are difficult to
see or are not visible, such as
when in a traffic jam, this func-
tion will operate to help follow a
preceding vehicle by monitoring
the position of the preceding
vehicle.
