CAMRY_U
■Automatic  deactivation  of  shift  range  selection  in  the  D  positi on  (vehi-
cles with paddle shift switches)
Shift range selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following situ-
ations:
● 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 p eriod of time
● When the shift lever is shifted to a position other than D
■ S mode
●When the shift range is 7 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the
shift range to 8.
● To  prevent  the  engine  from  over-revving,  upshifting  may  automat ically
occur.
● To  protect  the  automatic  transmission,  a  function  is  adopted  that  automati-
cally selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature i s high.
■ Downshift restriction warning buzzer (S mode or paddle shifting )
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  or  paddle  shift  switches  are   operated.  (A
buzzer will sound twice.) 
■ When driving with dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed  range or
dynamic radar cruise control activated
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of e nabling engine
braking,  engine  braking  will  not  occur  because  dynamic  radar  cr uise  control
with full speed range or dynamic r adar cruise control will not be canceled.
● While driving in D or S mode, downshifting to 7, 6, 5 or 4. (
P. 290, 306)
● When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in  the D posi-
tion. (
P. 375)
■ Restraining sudden start  (Drive-start Control)
P. 195
■ 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), the brake pedal is depresse d and the shift
release button is pushed.
