Selecting Gears In The M Position - Lexus 2015 RX350 Owner's Manual

Selecting gears in the M position

To enter M mode, shift the shift lever to the M position. Gears can then be
selected by operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches, allowing you
to drive in the gear of your choosing.
When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the shift lever or
paddle shift switches are operated.
However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically
changed in the following situations:
● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
● When the automatic transmission fluid or engine coolant temperature
is low.
● When engine speed is higher than necessary. (upshift only)
Upshifting
Downshifting
The gear changes once every time
the shift lever or paddle shift switch
is operated.
