2-1. Driving procedures
S mode
■
When the shift range is 5 or lower, holding the shift lever toward "+" sets the shift
range to 6.
AI-SHIFT
■
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the optimal gear according to driver performance
and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position. (Shifting
the shift lever to the S position cancels the function.)
When driving with the cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control
■
Engine braking will not occur in S mode, even when downshifting to 5 or 4.
(P. 244, 248)
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
■
P. 740
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 Lexus dealer immediately.
(In this situation, the transmission will operate in the same manner as when the shift
lever is in D.)
Downshift restriction warning buzzer (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. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
