3-8. Drive Selection
Drive Selection (Automatic Transaxle)
Drive selection is a system to switch the vehicle’s drive mode.
When the sport mode is selected, vehicle’s response against
accelerator operation is enhanced. This provides additional
quick acceleration which may be needed to safely make maneu-
vers such as lane changes, merging onto free ways, or passing
other vehicles.
●When the sport mode is selected, driving at higher engine speeds increases
and it may increase fuel consumption. Toyota recommends that you cancel
the sport mode on normal driving.
●Drive mode cannot be switched in the following conditions:
• ABS/TCS/DSC is operating
• Cruise control is operating.
• Steering wheel is being operated abruptly
WARNING
Do not use the sport mode when driving on slippery roads such as wet or
snow-covered roads. It may cause tire slipping.
Drive Selection Switch
Press the drive selection switch to
the
side (forward) to select
the sport mode.
Pull the drive selection switch to
the
side (backward) to cancel
the sport mode.
●In the following cases, the drive selection is canceled.
• The ignition is switched OFF.
• Cruise control is set.
●Depending on the driving conditions when sport mode is selected, the vehi-
cle may perform shift-down or slightly accelerate.
