2023 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER transmission fluid

2014-2. Driving procedures
4
Driving
*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suit-
able for the driving conditions.
Setting the shift lever to the D
position is recommended for nor-
mal driving.
*2: Selecting gears using M mode fixes the gear s tep, controls
engine braking force, and pre-
vents unnecessary upshifting.
■To protect the automatic trans-
mission
If the automatic transmission fluid
temperature is high, “High Trans-
mission Fluid Temp See Owner's
Manual” will be displayed on the
multi-information display and the
vehicle will go into transmission pro-
tection mode automatically. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
■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 activate because
dynamic radar cruise control with
full-speed range will not be can-
celed.
■Drive-Start Control (DSC)
 P.175
■AI-SHIFT
●The AI-SHIFT automatically
selects the suit able gear accord-
ing to driver performance and driv-
ing conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically oper-
ates when the shift lever is in D.
(Shifting the shift lever to the M posi-
tion cancels the function.)
●G AI-SHIFT automatically selects
a suitable gear fo r sporty driving
according to driver’s input and
driving conditio ns. G AI-SHIFT
operates automat ically when the
shift lever is in D and sport mode
is selected for the driving mode.
(Selecting normal mode with the
driving mode select switch or shift-
ing the shift lever to the M position
cancels this function.)
Automatic transmis-
sion
Select the shift position
depending on your purpose
and situation.
