Shift position purpose and functions

Shift position Objective or function
P Parking the vehicle/starting the engine
R Reversing
N Neutral (Condition in which the power is not transmitted)
D Normal driving*¹
M M mode driving*² (→P.20)

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 gear steps using the M position achieves suitable engine braking forces by operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches.

Selecting gear steps in the D position
To drive using temporary gear step selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle shift switch when driving with the shift lever in D.
Changing the gear step allows restriction of the highest gear, preventing unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected.LEXUS GX460 Old School Luxury - Figure 3

  1. Upshifting
  2. Downshifting

The selected gear step, from D1 to D10, will be displayed in the meter.
To return to normal D position driving, the “+” paddle shift switch must be held down for a period of time.

Selecting gears in M mode
To enter M mode, shift the shift lever to M. Gears can be selected by operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches or paddle shift switches, allowing you to drive in the gear of your choosing.LEXUS GX460 Old School
Luxury - Figure 4

  1. Upshifting
  2. Downshifting

The gear changes once every time the shift lever or paddle shift switch is operated. The selected gear, from M1 to M10, will be fixed and displayed on the meter.
When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the shift lever or paddle shift switch is operated.
However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically changed in the following situations:

  • When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
  • When it is necessary to protect the engine or automatic transmission when the engine coolant temperature is low, the automatic transmission fluid temperature is high or low, or other reasons.

Also, the gear will not shift when the vehicle speed is low, even if an upshift operation is performed.

    For this reason, make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or other devices to prevent injury or other potential harm.

  • It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote control transmitter for more accurate programming.

  • Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be equipped with rolling code protection. If this is the case, you may need a stepladder or other sturdy, safe device to reach the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the garage door opener motor.

The responding agent receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emergency. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emergency services provider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be sent to the location.

  • Stolen Vehicle Location
    If your vehicle is stolen, Safety Connect can work with local authorities to assist them in locating and recovering the vehicle. After filing a police report, call the Safety Connect response center at 1-800-25-LEXUS (1-800-255-3987) in the United States, 1-877- 539-8777 in Puerto Rico or 1-800-265-3987 in Canada, and follow the prompts for Safety Connect to initiate this service.
    In addition to assisting law enforcement with recovery of a stolen vehicle, Safety-Connect-equipped vehicle location data may, under certain circumstances, be shared with third parties to locate your vehicle. Further information is available at Lexus.com.

  • Emergency Assistance Button (“SOS”)
    In the event of an emergency on the road, push the “SOS” button to reach the Safety Connect response center. The answering agent will determine your vehicle’s location, assess the emergency, and dispatch the necessary assistance required.
