2-1. Driving procedures

When the shift range is "5" or lower, holding the shift lever toward "+" sets the shift

range to "6".

Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the "S" mode)

To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may some-

times 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. 204, 208)

Second start mode automatic deactivation

Second start mode is automatically deactivated if the engine is turned off after driv-

ing in second start mode.

If the shift lever cannot be shifted from "P"

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 Lexus dealer immediately. 

(In this situation, the vehicle will operate as if the shift lever is in "D".)

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" position.

(Shifting the shift lever to the "S" position cancels the function.)

While in power mode, the engine speed may stay high while depressing the accel-

erator pedal and may remain high after releasing the accelerator pedal. This does

not indicate a malfunction.
