1494-2. Driving procedures
4
Driving
*1: Shifting to the D position allows the sys-tem to select a gear suitable for the
driving conditions. Setting the shift lever
to the D position is recommended for
normal driving. You can choose shift
range suitable for your driving situation
by operating the paddle shift switches.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible
gear ranges, controls engine braking
force, and prevents unnecessary
upshifting.
■When driving with dynamic radar cruise
control with full-speed range activated
Even when performing the following
actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not be acti-
vated because dynamic radar cruise con-
trol with full-speed range will not be
canceled.
●While driving in the D position or S mode,
downshifting to S7, S6, S5 or S4.
(  P.198)
●When switching the driving mode to
sport mode while driving in D position.
( P.213)
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start
Control)
 P.139
■AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suit-
able gear according to driver performance
and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when
the shift lever is in D. (Shifting the shift lever
to the S position or using the paddle shift
cancels the function.)
Automatic transmission
Select the shift position depending
on your purpose and situation.

tions

SS mode driving*2 ( P.152)
WARNING
■When driving on slippery road sur-
faces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift lever
suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may
cause the vehicle to spin or skid, resulting
in an accident.

1524-2. Driving procedures
The selected shift range, from D1 to D8,
will be displayed on the meter.
■Automatic deactivation of shift range
selection in the D position
Shift range selection in the D position will
be deactivated in the following situations:
●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 posi-
tion other than D
■Downshifting restriction warning
buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor-
mance, downshifting operation may some-
times be restricted. In some circumstances,
downshifting may not be possible even
when the shift lever or paddle shift switch is
operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
To enter S mode, shift the shift lever to
S. Shift ranges can be selected by
operating the shift lever or paddle shift
switches, allowing you to drive in the
gear of your choosing. 1
Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The initial shift range in S mode is set
automatically to S4, S5 or S6 accord-
ing to vehicle’s speed. However, the
initial shift range may be set to S3 if AI-
SHIFT has operated while the shift
lever was in the D position. ( P.149)
A lower shift range will provide greater
engine braking forces than a higher
shift range.
■S mode
●When the shift range is S7 or lower, hold-
ing the shift lever toward “+” sets the shift
range to S8.
●To prevent the engine from over-revving,
upshifting may automatically occur.
●To protect the automatic transmission, a
function is adopted that automatically
selects a higher shift range when the fluid
temperature is high.
■Downshifting restriction warning
buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving perfor-
mance, downshifting operation may some-
times be restricted. In some circumstances,
downshifting may not be possible even
when the shift lever or paddle shift switch is
operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)

tions set to your preferred settings.
Custom mode settings can only be
changed on the drive mode customization
display of the Center Display. (P.258)
2 Eco drive mode
Helps the driver accelerate in an eco-
friendly manner and improve fuel economy
through moderate throttle characteristics
and by controlling the operation of the air
conditioning system (heating/cooling).
When not in Eco drive mode, if the Driving
Mode Select switch is turned toward you,
the “Eco” indicator comes on.
3Sport mode
•SPORT S mode
Controls the transmission and engine to
provide quick, powerful acceleration. This
mode is suitable for when agile driving
response is desired, such as when driving
on roads with many curves.
When not in SPORT S mode, if the Driving
Mode Select switch is turned away from
you, the “Sport S” indicator comes on.
•SPORT S+ mode
Helps to ensure steering performance and
driving stability by simultaneously con-
trolling the steering and suspension in
addition to the transmission and engine.
Suitable for sportier driving.
When in SPORT S mode, if the Driving
Mode Select switch is turned away from
you, the “Sport S+” indicator comes on.
■Operation of the air conditioning sys-
tem in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode contro ls the heating/cool-
ing operations and fan speed of the air con-
ditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency.
To improve air conditioning performance,
perform the following operations:
●Turn off eco air conditioning mode
(  P.267)
●Adjust the fan speed ( P.263, 265)
●Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.213)
■Automatic deactivation of sport mode
and custom mode (if equipped)
If the engine switch is turned off after driv-
ing in sport mode or custom mode, the
drive mode will be changed to normal
mode.
■Driving mode pop-up display (12.3-inch
display model)
When the driving mode is changed, the
selected driving mode will be temporarily
displayed on the side display. ( P.259)
■Customization (vehicles with Adaptive
Variable Suspension system)
Settings (e.g. custom mode) can be
changed.
(Customizable features:  P.408)

cle does not move.
 The vehicle makes an abnormal
sound.
From the front (2WD models)

If your vehicl e needs to be
towed
If towing is necessary, we recom-
mend having your vehicle towed by
your Lexus dealer or commercial
towing service, using a wheel-lift
type truck or flatbed truck.
Use a safety chain system for all
towing, and abide by all state/pro-
vincial and local laws.

Vehicle specifications
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are AA, A, B and C, and they
represent the tire’s ability to stop on
wet pavement as measured under con-
trolled conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and
concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction
performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B, and C, representing the
tire’s resistance to the generation of
heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the
material of the tire to degenerate and
reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of perfor-
mance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel
than the minimum required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades of a tire
assume that it is properly inflated and not
overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or exces-
sive loading, either separately or in combi-
nation, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.
