NOTICE

■To prevent battery discharge

●Do not leave the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in ACCESSORY or IGNI-

TION ON mode for long periods of time without the engine running.

●If the indicator on the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is illuminated, the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is not off. When exiting the vehicle, always check that the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is off.

●Do not stop the engine when the shift lever is in a position other than P. If the engine is stopped in another shift lever position, the “ENGINE START STOP” switch will not be turned off but instead be turned to ACCESSORY mode. If the vehicle is left in ACCESSORY mode, battery discharge may occur.

■When starting the engine ●Do not race a cold engine. ●If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, have the engine

checked immediately.

■Symptoms indicating a malfunction with the “ENGINE START STOP”

switch If the “ENGINE START STOP” seems to be operating somewhat differently than usual, such as the switch sticking slightly, there may be a malfunction. Contact your Toyota dealer immediately.

*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended for normal driving.

*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.

Changing shift ranges in S mode

When the shift lever is in the S position, the shift lever can be oper- ated as follows:

Upshifting Downshifting

The initial shift range in S mode is set automatically to 5 or 4 accord- ing to vehicle speed. However, the initial shift range may be set to 3 if the AI-SHIFT has operated while the shift lever was in the D position. (→P. 240)

238

SIENNA_U (OM45477U)

2-1. Driving procedures

■ Shift ranges and their functions

● Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to vehicle speed and driving conditions. But, the gear is limited according to selected shift range.

● You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force. ● A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than

a higher shift range, and the engine speed will also increase.

■S mode

●When the shift range is 5 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets

the shift range to 6.

●To prevent excessive engine speed, a function was adopted that auto- matically selects a higher shift range before the engine speed becomes too high.

●To protect the automatic transaxle, a function is adopted that automati-

cally selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.

■When driving with the cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control

Engine braking will not occur in S mode, even when downshifting to 5 or 4. (→P. 293, 298)

■If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P

●→P. 764
●Vehicles with AUTO ACCESS SEAT: If the AUTO ACCESS SEAT has not been locked in place after being stowed, the shift lever cannot be shifted from P. For details, refer to “AUTO ACCESS SEAT OWNER’S MANUAL”.

2-1. Driving procedures

■If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the shift lever

to S This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transaxle system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately. (In this situation, the transaxle will operate in the same manner as when the shift lever is in D.)

■Downshift restriction warning buzzer (S mode)

To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)

■AI-SHIFT

AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear 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.)

■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.

CAUTION

■When driving on slippery road surfaces Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly. Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an accident.

■Camera sensor detection information

●High beam may not be automatically turned off in the following situations:

• When oncoming vehicles suddenly appear from a curve. • When the vehicle is cut in front of by another.

●High beam may be turned off if an oncoming vehicle that is using fog

lights without using the headlights is detected.

●Houselights, streetlights, red traffic signals, and illuminated billboards or

signs may cause the high beam to turn off.

●The following factors may affect the amount of time taken to turn high

beam on or off: • The brightness of headlights, fog lights, and tail lights of oncoming and

preceding vehicles

• Road conditions (wetness, ice, snow etc.) • The number of passengers and amount of baggage

●High beam may be turned on or off when unexpected by the driver.

2-3. Operating the lights and wipers

●In the situations below, the system may not be able to correctly detect the surrounding brightness levels, and may flash or expose nearby pedestri- ans to the high beam. Therefore, you should consider turning the high beam on or off manually rather than relying on the Automatic High Beam system. • In bad weather (rain, snow, fog, sandstorms etc.) • The windshield is obscured by fog, mist, ice, dirt etc. • The windshield is cracked or damaged. • The inside rear view mirror or camera sensor is deformed or dirty. • Surrounding brightness levels are equal to those of headlights, tail

lights or fog lights.

• Vehicles ahead have headlights that are either switched off, dirty, are

changing color, or are not aimed properly.

• When driving through an area of intermittently changing brightness and

• When frequently and repeatedly driving ascending/descending roads, or roads with rough, bumpy or uneven surfaces (such as stone-paved roads, gravel tracks etc.)

or a mirror.

• The vehicle’s headlights are damaged or dirty. • The vehicle is lifting or tilting, due to a flat tire, a trailer being towed etc. • The Automatic High Beam indicator is flashing. • The high beam and low beam are repeatedly being switched between

in an abnormal manner.

• The driver believes that the high beam may be causing problems or

distress to other drivers or pedestrians nearby.

■If the Automatic High Beam indicator flashes...

It may indicate a malfunction in the system. Contact your Toyota dealer.

■Customization that can be configured at Toyota dealer or by the multi-

information display The Automatic High Beam can be turned off. (Customizable features →P. 815)

■Temporary lowering sensor sensitivity

The sensitivity of the sensor can be temporarily lowered. To lower the sensitivity, push and hold on the inside rear view mirror for 15 to 20 seconds, and release. The indicator light on the inside rear view mirror will flash to indicate that the sensitivity has been lowered. Vehicles without a smart key system: When the engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position, the sensitivity will be returned to its normal level. Vehicles with a smart key system: When the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned off, the sensitivity will be returned to its normal level.

2-3. Operating the lights and wipers

Observe the following to ensure that the Automatic High Beam functions correctly.

●Do not touch the camera sensor. ●Do not subject the inside rear view mirror or the camera sensor to a strong

impact.

●Do not disassemble the camera sensor. ●Do not spill liquid onto the inside rear view mirror or the camera sensor. ●Do not apply window tinting or stickers to the camera sensor or the area of

windshield near the camera sensor.

●Do not place items on the dashboard. There is a possibility that the cam- era sensor will mistake items reflected in the windshield for streetlights, the headlights of other vehicles, etc.

●Do not install a parking tag or any other accessories near or around the

inside rear view mirror and the camera sensor.

●Do not overload the vehicle. ●Do not modify the vehicle. ●Do not replace windshield with a non-genuine windshield.
