Automatic Transmission (With Paddle Shift Switches) - Toyota AURION 2013 Owner's Manual

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (WITH PADDLE SHIFT SWITCHES)
Your automatic transmission has a shift lock system to minimise the possibility of
incorrect operation. This means you can only shift out of P position when the brake pedal
is depressed (with the ignition switch [vehicles with standard type ignition switch] is in the
ON position or the ENGINE START STOP switch [vehicles with smart entry and start
system] is in IGNITION ON mode).
Shift lever
The shift position is also displayed on the instrument cluster.
P: Parking, engine starting and key removal
R: Reverse
N: Neutral
D: Normal driving
To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, set the shift lever in the D position for
normal driving.
S: S mode driving
Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear
ranges and controls engine braking forces.
NOTICE
When moving the shift lever between P and D positions, ensure the vehicle is completely
stopped.
