I'm just under 1,000 miles on my 2015 GS350 F Sport RWD and starting to get on it a bit more now that I feel it's broken in. Tonight I put it Sport + mode and got on it from a 1st gear roll. The traction control light came on and I shifted to second and it still spun a bit more, after shifting to third and fourth I down shifted because I was turning into the neighborhood. Once I down shifted a bit more I got a few quick beeps. My wife and I were like what was that? Was it a warning that it's cold out or that I lost traction or something? When I downshifted it revved up to around 4K rpm but nothing crazy. Just wondering what these beeps were? Seem to come from the cluster area behind the steering wheel. Temps were around 38 degrees at the time.

The engine is trying to protect itself by beeping to tell you that it would've been too many revs for that downshift and it would've not let you go into that lower gear. If you were trying to downshift from a bit over 4K RPM, then that's way too much especially if you're going into first.

Going from 4th to 3rd. I'd only go to first at a complete stop. Most of my sports cars have all been manuals. Trying to get use to these autos and still have fun!
