STARTING AND DRIVING 2. Set the driving pattern selector switch to the NORMAL position. Your transmission has a driving pattern selector switch which allows you to select either "NORM" or "PWR" to suit your driving condition. For ordinary driving, Lexus recommends that you use the NORMAL position to improve fuel economy. 3. For more powerful acceleration and sporty driving, use the POWER position.
