Changing Shift Range In D Position - Lexus LX 570 2016 Service Manual

4-2. Driving procedures
Changing shift range in D position (vehicles with paddle shift switches)
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the "-" or "+" paddle shift
switch.
When the "-" paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be downshifted
to a range that enables engine braking force that is suitable to driving conditions.
When the "+" paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be one gear
upper than the gear in use during normal D position driving.
Changing the shift range allows restriction of the highest shift range, preventing
unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be
selected.
