Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
range:
Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next lower range.
When the "S" mode indicator light does
not come on even with the selector lever
moved to the sequential position, there
may be a problem somewhere in the
system. Have your vehicle checked/re-
paired by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. In this case, you can drive in
the same condition as in the "D" position.

(d) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, you can downshift
the transmission as follows:
D
When driving in the "D" position—
Shift the selector lever to the "S"
position.
When driving in the "6" range within
the "S" position—
Move the selector lever down to the
"–" side to select the "5" range.
The transmission will downshift to fifth
range and engine braking will be en-
abled.
Vehicles with cruise control—when the
cruise control is being used, even if
you downshift the transmission, engine
braking will not be enabled because
the cruise control is not cancelled.
For ways to decrease the vehicle
speed, see "Cruise control" on page
181 in this Section.
D
Move the selector lever down to the
"−" side to select the "4" range. The
transmission will downshift to fourth
range when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than 169 km/h (105
mph), and stronger engine braking will
be enabled.
Vehicles with cruise control—when the
cruise control is being used, even if
you downshift the transmission, engine
braking will not be enabled because
the cruise control is not cancelled.
D
Move the selector lever down to the
"−" side to select the "3" range. The
transmission will downshift to
range when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than 121 km/h (75
mph), and more powerful engine brak-
ing than that of the "4" range position
will be enabled.
D
Move the selector lever down to the
"−" side to select the "2" range. The
transmission will downshift to second
range when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than 87 km/h (54

ing will be enabled.
