■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,  
because visibility will be reduced, the 
windows may become fogged-up, and  the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be  
especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when driv-
ing on an expressway in the rain, 
because there may be a layer of water  between the tires and the road sur- 
face, preventing the steering and 
brakes from operating properly.
■Engine speed while driving (vehi-
cles with a Multidrive) 
In the following conditions, the engine  
speed may become high while driving. 
This is due to automatic up-shifting con- trol or down-shifting implementation to  
meet driving conditions. It does not indi-
cate sudden acceleration.
●The vehicle is judged to be driving 
uphill or downhill
●When the accelerator pedal is 
released
●When the brake pedal is depressed 
while Sport mode is selected

1 Upshifting 
2 Downshifting
The gear changes once every time the  
shift lever is operated. 
The selected gear step, from M1 to  
M10, will be displayed on the 
multi-information display.
However, even when in the M posi- 
tion, the gear step s will be automat- 
ically changed if the engine speed 
is too high, or too low.
■Gear step functions
●You can choose from 10 levels of  
engine braking force.
●A lower gear step will provide greater 
engine braking force than a higher 
gear step, and the engine speed will  also increase.
■When the vehicle comes to a stop  
with the shift lever in the M position
●The transmission will automatically 
downshift to M1 once the vehicle is 
stopped.
●After a stop, the vehicle will start off in 
M1.
●When the vehicle is stopped, the 
transmission is set at M1.
■Downshifting restriction warning 
buzzer 
To help ensure safety and driving perfor- 
mance, downshifting operation may 
sometimes be restrict ed. In some cir- cumstances, downshifting may not be  
possible even when the shift lever is 
operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■If the 10-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  
Multidrive system. Have the vehicle 
inspected by any authorized Toyota  retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or  
any reliable repairer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will  operate in the same manner as when  
the shift lever is in D.)
