Toyota Corolla: Continuously variable transmission (vehicles with paddle shift switches) / Shift position purpose and functions

■To protect the continuously variable transmission

If the continuously variable 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 and the vehicle will go into transmission protection mode automatically. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

■When driving with dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range activated

Even when switching the driving mode to sport mode with the intent of enabling engine braking, engine braking will not occur because dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range will not be canceled.

■Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control)

■G AI-SHIFT

G AI-SHIFT automatically selects a suitable gear for sporty driving according to driver’s input and driving conditions. G AI-SHIFT operates automatically when the shift lever is in D and sport mode is selected for the driving mode. (Selecting normal mode or shifting the shift lever to the M position cancels this function.)

■After recharging/reconnecting the battery

WARNING

■When driving on slippery road surfaces

Do not accelerate or shift the shift gears suddenly.

Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid, resulting in an accident.
