Automatic transmission (vehicles with 2.4L 4-cylinder [T24A-FTS] engine) Select the shift position depending on your purpose and situation. Shift position purpose and functions

Shift position	Objective or function
P	Parking the vehicle/starting the hybrid system
R	Reversing
N	Neutral(Condition in which the power is not transmitted)
D	Normal driving*1
M	M mode driving*2 (Selecting gears in the M position)

^*1To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noise, set the shift position in D for normal driving. You can choose gear range suitable for your driving situation by operating the paddle shift switches. ^*2Any gear range can be fixed when driving in M mode. Note: To protect the automatic transmission If the automatic transmission fluid temperature is high, “Transmission Oil Temp High Stop in a Safe Place and See Owner’s Manual” will be displayed on the multi-information display. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer. 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 be activated because dynamic radar cruise control will not be canceled. While driving in the D position, downshifting to D5 or D4. (Selecting shift ranges in the D position) When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in the D position (Driving mode select switch) Sudden start restraint control (Drive-Start Control [DSC]) Sudden start restraint control (Drive-Start Control [DSC]) AI-SHIFT The AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver performance and driving conditions. The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift position is in D. (Changing the shift position to the M position cancels the function.) If a message about a shift operation is shown To prevent the shift position from being selected incorrectly or the vehicle from moving unexpectedly, the shift position may be changed automatically or operating the shift lever may be required. In this case, change the shift position following the messages on the multi-information display. After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery When recharging or replacing the 12-volt battery Warning: When driving on slippery road surfaces Do not accelerate or change the shift position suddenly. Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an accident. Notice: Situations where shift control system malfunctions are possible If any of the following situations occurs, shift control system malfunctions are possible.Immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place on level ground, apply the parking brake, and then contact your Toyota dealer. When the warning message indicating the shift control system appears on the multi-information display. (If a warning message is displayed) The display indicates that no shift position is selected for more than a few seconds. Shift position display and how to change the shift position Shift lever Operate the shift lever gently and securely in the direction of the arrow on the shift position indicator. To shift to N, slide the shift lever in the direction of the arrow and hold it. Release the shift lever after each shifting operation to allow it to return to its regular position ( ). Shifting to M is only possible when the shift position is in D. When shifting from P to N, D or R, from N, D, M or R to P, from D or M to R, or from R to D, ensure that the brake pedal is being depressed and the vehicle is stationary. Shift position indicator Meter display: The current shift position is illuminated. Shift lever display: The current shift position is illuminated. When selecting the shift position, make sure that the shift position has been changed to the desired position by checking the shift position indicator provided on the instrument cluster. P position switch Fully stop the vehicle and set the parking brake, and then press the P position switch. When the shift position is changed to P, the switch illuminates. Check that the shift position indicator shows P. Note: Changing the shift position in each power switch mode The shift position cannot be changed when the power switch is in ACC or off. When the power switch is in ON, if the “READY” indicator is not illuminated, the shift position can only be changed to N. When the “READY” indicator is illuminated, the shift position can be changed from P to D, N, or R. When the “READY” indicator is flashing, the shift position cannot be changed from P to any other position, even if the shift lever is operated. Operate the shift lever again after the “READY” indicator changes from flashing to illuminated. Shifting the shift position from P to other positions While depressing the brake pedal firmly, operate the shift lever. If the shift lever is operated without depressing the brake pedal, the buzzer will sound and the shifting operation will be disabled. When selecting the shift position, make sure that the shift position has been changed to the desired position by checking the shift position indicator provided on the instrument cluster. The shift position cannot be changed from P to M directly. The shift position cannot be changed when In the following situations, a buzzer will sound to inform you that the shift position cannot be changed. Use the appropriate operation to attempt to change the shift position again. When attempting to change the shift position from P with the brake pedal not depressed When attempting to change the shift position from P with the accelerator pedal depressed When attempting to change the shift position from N while stopped or driving at an extremely low speed with the brake pedal not depressed When attempting to change the shift position from N while stopped or driving at an extremely low speed with the accelerator pedal depressed When attempting to change the shift position from P or N to M When the P position switch is pressed while driving When driving at an extremely low speed, the shift position may change to P. The shift position automatically changes to N when In the following situations, a buzzer will sound to inform you that the shift position has been changed to N. Use the appropriate operation to attempt to change the shift position again. When attempting to change the shift position to R while the vehicle is moving forward When driving at a low speed, the shift position may change to R. When attempting to change the shift position to D while the vehicle is moving backward When driving at a low speed, the shift position may change to D. When attempting to change the shift position from R to M If the N shift position is selected while driving If the shift lever is moved to N while driving above a certain speed, the shift position will change to N without holding the shift lever in the N position. In this situation, a buzzer will sound and a message will be displayed on the multi-information display to inform you that the shift position has been changed to N. Automatic P position selection function In the following situations, the shift position is automatically changed to P. When pressing the power switch with the vehicle stopped while the power switch is in ON and the shift position is in a position other than P (after the shift position has changed to P, the power switch will turn off)^* If the driver’s door is opened and all of the following conditions are met, while the shift position is in a position other than P The power switch is in ON. The driver is not wearing the seat belt. The brake pedal is not depressed. To start off the vehicle after the shift position is changed to P, operate the shift lever again. When the vehicle is stopped after the hybrid system has been stopped in an emergency while driving. When voltage of the 12-volt battery drops while the shift position is in a position other than P. ^*When the power switch is pressed while driving at extremely slow speeds, such as immediately before stopping the vehicle, the shift position may automatically change to P. Make sure that the vehicle is completely stopped before pressing the power switch. If the shift position cannot be shifted from P There is a possibility that the 12-volt battery is discharged. Check the 12-volt battery in this situation. (If the 12-volt battery is discharged) Customization Some functions can be customized. (Customizable features) Warning: For the shift lever Do not remove the shift lever knob or use anything but a genuine Toyota shift lever knob. Also, do not hang anything on the shift lever.Doing so could prevent the shift lever from returning to position, causing unexpected accidents to occur when the vehicle is in motion. In order to prevent the shift position from accidentally being changed, do not touch the shift lever when not using them. P position switch Do not press the P position switch while the vehicle is moving. If the P position switch is pressed when driving at very low speeds (for example, directly before stopping the vehicle), the vehicle may stop suddenly when the shift position switches to P, which could lead to an accident. In order to prevent the shift position from accidentally being changed, do not touch the P position switch when not using them. Notice: When exiting the vehicle (driver’s seat only) Check that the shift position indicator shows P and that the parking brake indicator is illuminated before opening the door and exiting the vehicle. Selecting the driving mode and snow mode Driving mode select switch, Snow mode switch (vehicles with 2.4L 4-cylinder [T24A-FTS] engine) Transmission Paddle shift switches Switches Paddle shift switches Paddle shift switches Automatic transmission Paddle shift switches Selecting shift ranges in the D position To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle shift switch. When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range switches to a range that enables engine braking force that is suitable to driving conditions. When the “+” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range switches to a range that is one range higher than the current range. Changing the shift range allows restriction of the highest gear, preventing unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected. Upshifting Downshifting The selected shift range, from D1 to D6, will be displayed on the meter. To return to normal D position driving, the “+” paddle shift switch must be held down for a period of time. Shift ranges and their functions

Meter display	Function
D2 - D6	A gear in the range between 1 and the selected gear is automatically chosen depending on vehicle speed and driving conditions
D1	1st gear is set

A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking forces than a higher shift range. Note: Automatic deactivation of shift range selection in the D position Shift range selection in the D position will be deactivated in the following situations: When the vehicle comes to a stop If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of time When the shift position is shifted to a position other than D. Warning buzzers Downshifting Downshifting restriction warning buzzer To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the paddle shift switch is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.) Transmission Paddle shift switches Transmission M mode Switches Paddle shift switches Paddle shift switches Automatic transmission Paddle shift switches Automatic transmission M mode Selecting gears in the M position To enter M mode, shift the shift position to M. Gears can be selected by operating the paddle shift switches, allowing you to drive in the gear of your choosing. Upshifting Downshifting The gear changes once every time the paddle shift switch is operated. The selected gear, from M1 to M6, will be fixed and displayed on the meter. When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the paddle shift switches are operated. Also, the gear will not shift when the vehicle speed is low, even if an upshift operation is performed. However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically changed in the following situations: When vehicle speed drops (downshift only). When vehicle speed increases (upshift only). When the accelerator pedal is firmly depressed. When it is necessary to protect the transmission when the transmission fluid temperature is high or low, or other reasons. Note: Warning buzzers Downshifting Downshifting restriction warning buzzer To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the paddle shift switch is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.) Keeping the shift position in N without activating the automatic P position selection function By performing the following operation, the shift position can be held in N until the shift position switches to P without activating the automatic P position selection function. Operate the shift lever and change the shift position to N when the hybrid system is operating. Return the shift lever to its regular position ( ). Operate the shift lever to N and hold it there until the buzzer sounds. Press the power switch within 5 seconds after the buzzer sounds. The hybrid system stops with the shift position in N^* Make sure to check that the buzzer sounds and “Holding N Push P Switch When Done” is displayed on the multi-information display. In order to shift to a position other than N, first press the P position switch to change the shift position to P. If the automatic P position switching operation selection function is performed operated with the hybrid system stopped, the automatic P position selection function may not operate. Always perform the operation with the hybrid system started. ^*To keep this state, do not operate the power switch. If the power switch is operated repeatedly, the power switch will turn off after the shift position has automatically changed to P. Notice: Keeping the shift position in N without activating the automatic P position selection function Make sure that the hybrid system is started.If an operation is performed when the hybrid system is not started, the shift position may change to P.
