■When driving with dynamic
radar cruise control with
full-speed range activated
Even when switching the driving
mode to sport mode with the intent
of enabling engine braking, engine
braking will not occur because
dynamic radar cruise control will not
be canceled. ( P.247)
■Restraining sudden start
(Drive-Start Control)
 P. 1 4 9
■G AI-SHIFT
G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a
suitable gear for sporty driving
according to driver’s input and driv-
ing conditions. G AI-SHIFT operates
automatically when th e shift lever is
in D and sport mode is selected for
the driving mode. (Selecting normal
mode or shifting the shift lever to the
M position cancels this function.)
■After recharging/reconnecting
the battery
 P. 3 8 5
:While the engine switch is in
ON and the brake pedal
depressed
*, shift the shift lever
while pushing the shift release
button on the shift knob.
:Shift the shift lever while
pushing the shift release button
on the shift knob.
:Shift the shift lever normally.
When shifting the shift lever
between P and D, make sure that
the vehicle is completely stopped
and the brake pedal is depressed.
*: For the vehicle be able to be shifted from P, the brake pedal
must be depressed before the
shift release button is pushed. If
the shift release button is pushed
first, the shift lock will not be
released.
WARNING
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
Do not accelerate o r shift the shift
gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine brak-
ing may cause the vehicle to spin
or skid, resulting in an accident.
Shifting the shift lever

1664-2. Driving procedures
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 vehic le comes to a
stop with the shift lever in the M
position
●The transmission will automati-
cally 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 warn-
ing buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving
performance, downshifting opera-
tion may sometimes b e 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.)
■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 continuously variable transmis-
sion system. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission
will operate in t he same manner as
when the shift lever is in D.)
■Continuously variable transmis-
sion fail-safe control
The system detects malfunctioning
parts targeted (all of the solenoids
that perform the shifting function) by
the On-Board Diagnostics, and per- forms fail-safe mechanisms, such
as restricting the shifting function or
transmission ratio control.
In this event, the malfunction indica-
tor lamp turns on.

Turn the brake hold system on
The brake hold standby indicator
(green) comes on. While the
system is holding the brake, the
brake hold operated indicator (yel-
low) comes on.
■Brake hold system operating
conditions
The brake hold system cannot be
turned on in the following condi-
tions:
●The driver’s door is not closed.
●The driver is not wearing the seat
belt.
●The parking brake is engaged.
If any of the cond itions above are
detected when the brake hold sys-
tem is enabled, the system will turn
off and the brake hold standby indi-
cator light will go off. In addition, if
any of the conditions are detected
while the system is holding the
brake, a warning buzzer will sound
and a message will be shown on the
multi-information display. The park-
ing brake will then be set automati-
cally.
■Brake hold function
●If the brake pedal is left released
for a period of about 3 minutes
after the system has started hold-
ing the brake, the parking brake
will be set automatically. In this
case, a warning buzzer sounds
and a message is shown on the
multi-information display.
●To turn the system off while the
system is holding the brake, firmly
depress the brake pedal and
press the button again.
●The brake hold function may not
hold the vehicle when the vehicle
is on a steep incline. In this situa-
tion, it may be ne cessary for the
driver to apply the brakes. A warn-
ing buzzer will sound and the
multi-information display will
inform the driver of this situation. If
a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display, read
the message and follow the
instructions.
●When do not wish for the parking
brake to operate automatically,
press and hold the brake hold
Brake Hold
The brake hold system
keeps the brake applied
when the shift lever is in D,
B (vehicles without paddle
shift switches), M (vehicles
with paddle shift switches)
or N with the system on and
the brake pedal has been
depressed to stop the vehi-
cle. The system releases the
brake when the accelerator
pedal is depressed with the
shift lever in D, B (vehicles
without paddle shift
switches) or M (vehicles
with paddle shift switches)
to allow smooth start off.

Constant speed cruising:
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle drives at the speed set by the driver.
If the set vehicle speed is exceeded while driving down a hill, the set vehicle
speed display will blin k and a buzzer will sound.
Deceleration and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set vehicle
speed is detected
When a vehicle is detected driving ahead of your vehicle, the v ehicle auto-
matically decelerates and if a greater reduction in vehicle spe ed is neces-
sary, the brakes are applied (the stop lights will come on at t his time). The
vehicle is controlled to maintai n the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the
driver, in accordance with changes in the speed of the precedin g vehicle. If
vehicle deceleration is not sufficient and the vehicle approaches the vehicle
ahead, the approach wa rning will sound.
Acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set vehicle speed
The vehicle accelerates until th e set vehicle speed is reached and then
resumes constant speed cruising.
Starting off:
If a preceding vehicle stops, the vehicle will also stop (contr olled
stop). After the preceding vehicle starts off, pressing the “RES”
switch or depressing the accelerator pedal will resume follow-u p
cruising (start off operation). If a start off operation is not per-

■Accelerating after setting the
vehicle speed
As with normal dri ving, acceleration
can be performed by depressing the
accelerator pedal. After accelerat-
ing, the vehicle will return to the set
vehicle speed. However, while in
vehicle-to-vehicle distance control
mode, the vehicle speed may
decrease to below the set vehicle
speed in order to maintain the dis-
tance from the preceding vehicle.
■When the vehicle is stopped by
system control during follow-up
cruising
●When the “+RES” switch is
pressed while the vehicle is
stopped by system control, if the
preceding vehicle starts off within
approximately 3 seconds, fol-
low-up cruising will resume.
●If the preceding vehicle starts off
within approximately 3 seconds of
the vehicle being stopped by sys-
tem control, follo w-up cruising will
resume.
■Automatic cancellation of vehi-
cle-to-vehicle d istance control
mode
In the following situations, vehi-
cle-to-vehicle dista nce control mode
will be canceled automatically:

restriction control of a driving sup-
port system operates
(For example: Pre-Collision Sys-
tem, drive-start control)
●When the parking brake has been
operated
●When the vehicle is stopped by
system control on a steep incline
●When any of the following are
detected while the vehicle is
