knowledge

ÿ About automatic transmission related to 7-speed sports sequential shiftmatic

(Vehicles with 2ZR-FAE engine)

ÿ The engine speed is automatically shifted up by one step so that the engine speed does not rise too much.

ÿ The engine speed is automatically downshifted by one step so that the engine speed does not drop too much.

ÿ 7-speed sports sequential shift downshift limit when driving in matic mode
Warning buzzer (vehicle with 2ZR-FAE engine)

To ensure safety and driving performance, there are restrictions on shift operations, and you
may not be able to shift even if you operate the shift lever. A warning buzzer sounds if the
shift operation does not shift down.

ÿ Reverse warning buzzer

When the shift lever is put in R, a buzzer sounds to inform the driver that it is in R.

This is an advanced automatic shift control function that utilizes the functions of the navigation
system. See the separate "Navigation System Instruction Manual" for how to use it.
