"S" mode
When the shift range is "5" (6-speed models) or "4" (5-speed models) or
lower, holding the shift lever toward "+" sets the shift range to "6" (6-speed
models) or "5" (5-speed models).

Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the "S" mode)
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (The warning buzzer will
sound twice.)
■
When driving with the cruise control system
The engine brake will not operate in the "S" mode, even when downshifting
to "5" or "4". (→P. 186)
■
Second start mode automatic deactivation
Second start mode is automatically deactivated if the engine is turned off
after driving in second start mode.

→P. 388
■
If the "S" indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever
to "S"
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in "D".)
■
AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically shifts the gear to the optimal position according
to the driver performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the "D" posi-
tion. (Shifting the shift lever to the "S" position cancels the function.)
While in power mode, the engine speed may stay high while depressing the
accelerator pedal and may remain high after releasing the accelerator pedal.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
