WARNING
For the shift lever
■
●
Do not remove the shift lever knob or
use anything but a genuine Lexus shift
lever knob. Also, do not hang anything
on the shift lever.
Doing so could prevent the shift lever
from returning to position, causing
unexpected accidents to occur when
the vehicle is in motion.

In order to prevent the shift position
from accidentally being changed, do
not touch the shift lever when not using
them.

Do not press the P position switch
●
while the vehicle is moving.
If the P position switch is pressed when
driving at very low speeds (for example,
directly before stopping the vehicle), the
vehicle may stop suddenly when the shift
position switches to P, which could lead
to an accident.
In order to prevent the shift position
●
from accidentally being changed, do
not touch the P position switch when
not using them.

Selecting shift ranges in the D
position
To drive using temporary shift range
selection, operate the "-" or "+" paddle
shift switch.
When the "-" paddle shift switch is
operated, the shift range switches to a
range that enables engine braking
force that is suitable to driving condi-
tions. When the "+" paddle shift switch
is operated, the shift range switches to
a range that is one range higher than
the current range.
Changing the shift range allows
restriction of the highest gear, prevent-
ing unnecessary upshifting and
enabling the level of engine braking
force to be selected.
