2565-2. Driving procedures
*: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, set the shift posi-
tion in D for normal driving.
■When driving with dynamic
radar cruise control 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 will not
be canceled.
■If a message about a shift oper-
ation is shown
To prevent the shift position from
being selected incorrectly or the
vehicle from moving unexpectedly,
the shift position may be changed
automatically or operating the shift
lever may be required . In this case,
change the shift position following
the messages on the multi-informa-
tion display.
■Restraining sudden start (Drive-
Start Control)
 P.245
Transmission
Select the shift position
depending on your purpose
and situation.

tionObjective or function
P
Parking the vehi-
cle/starting the hybrid system
RReversing
N
Neutral
(Condition in which the power is not transmit- ted)
DNormal driving*
B
Applying engine brak-ing or strong braking
when the accelerator pedal has been
released on steep
downward slopes etc.
WARNING
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift the shift
position suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine brak-
ing may cause the vehicle to spin
or skid, resulting in an accident.
NOTICE
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) charge
If the shift position is in N, the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
will not be charged. To help pre-
vent the battery from discharging,
avoid leaving the N position
selected for an extended period of
time.
■Situations where shift con-
trol system malfunctions are
possible
If any of the following situations
occurs, shift control system mal-
functions are possible.
Immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place on level ground, apply
the parking brake, and then con-
tact your Toyota dealer.

Driving
When Eco drive mode is selected,
Eco drive mode indicator comes
on.
3Sport mode
Controls the hybrid system to pro-
vide quick, powerful acceleration.
This mode also expands the possi-
ble rate of deceleration by operat-
ing the accelerator pedal and
enables acceleration/deceleration
control based on the driver’s inten-
tions. This changes the steering
feel, making it suitable for when
agile driving response is desired,
such as when driving on roads with
many curves.
When Sport mode is selected,
Sport mode indicator comes on.
4Custom mode
Allows you to drive with the power
train, steering wheel and air condi-
tioning system func tions set to your
preferred settings.
Custom mode settings can only be
changed on the drive mode cus-
tomization display of Multimedia
Display. ( P.632)
When the Custom mode is
selected, Custom mode indicator
comes on.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
When Eco drive mode is selected,
the air conditioning system will auto-
matically be changed to eco air con-
ditioning mode.
Eco air conditioning mode controls
the heating/cooling operations and
fan speed of the air conditioning
system to enhance fuel efficiency.
To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following opera-
tions:
●Adjust the fan speed ( P.435)
●Deactivate Eco drive mode
●Turn off eco air conditioning mode
( P.440)
■Automatic deactivation of a
driving mode
●Sport mode and Custom mode
are automatically deactivated and
the driving mode returns to normal
mode when the power switch is
turned to OFF.
●Normal mode and Eco drive mode
are not deactivated until another
driving mode is selected. (Even if
the power switch is turned to OFF,
normal mode and Eco drive mode
will not be automatically deacti-
vated.)
■Customization
The custom mode can be changed.
(Customizable features: P.618)
