1282-1. Driving proceduresGS_G_UMarch 29, 2010 3:11 pmn Shift ranges and their functionsl You can choose from 8 levels (GS460) or 6 levels (GS350) of engine braking force.l A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than a higher shift range, and the engine revolutions will also increase.l If you accelerate while in ranges "1" to "7" (GS460) or "1" to "5" (GS350), the shift range may automatically range up in accordance with the vehicle's speed.n"S" mode When the shift range is "6" (GS460) or "4" (GS350) or lower, holding the shift lever toward "+" sets the shift range to "8" (GS460) or "6" (GS350).nDownshifting restrictions warning buzzer (in the "S" mode)To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may some-times be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the shift lever is operated. (The warning buzzer will sound twice.)nWhen driving with the cruise control syst em (or dynamic radar cruise control sys-tem)The engine brake will not operate in the "S" mode, even when downshifting to "7", "6", "5" or "4" (GS460) or "5" or "4" (GS350). (→ P. 150, 153)nSnow mode automatic deactivationSnow mode is automatically deactivated if the "ENGINE START STOP" switch is turned to ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON mode after driving in snow mode. nIf the shift lever cannot be shifted from "P"→ P. 524
