4-2. Driving procedures
Driving on a downhill
■
On declines, there may be case where the vehicle shifts down automatically to obtain
engine braking. As a result of the downshifting, the engine speed may increase.
Second start mode automatic deactivation
■
Second start mode is automatically deactivated if the engine is turned off after driving in
second start mode.
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 shifts the gear to the suitable position according to driver perfor-
mance 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 dynamic radar cruise control activated
■
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine braking,
engine braking will not activate because dynamic radar cruise control will not be can-
celed.
While driving in S mode, downshifting to 5 or 4. (P. 255)
●
Vehicles with adaptive variable suspension system: When switching the driving mode
●
to sport mode while driving in D position. (P. 356)
Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control)
■
P. 170
Shift lock system
■
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift lever in start-
ing.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the IGNITION ON
mode and the brake pedal is being depressed.
