■ When either “L” or “R” of the mirror select switch is selected, the outside rear view mir-
rors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is reversing in order to give a
better view of the ground. To disable this function, select neither “L” nor “R”.
■ If the mirror angle adjustment switch is operated while the linked mirror function is in
operation, the angle and position of the mirrors can be remembered, and the mirrors will
operate at the angle adjusted to the last time the linked mirror function was operated.
However, because the mirrors move based on the angle they are in when the linked mir-
ror function is not operating, the mirror angl e when the linked mirror function is operat-
ing will also be changed if the mirrors are adjusted while the function is not operating.

Automatic Transmission
■Shifting the shift lever
While the “START STOP ENGINE” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, move the shift
lever with the brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P and D, make sure that the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped.
■ Shift position purpose
*1: Shifting the shift lever to D allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving con-
ditions.
Setting the shift lever to D is recommended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear ranges, controls engine braking force, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.

■Shift ranges and their functions
• Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to vehicle speed and driving
conditions. However, the gear is limited according to selected shift range.
• You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.
• A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than a higher shift range,
and the engine speed will also increase.
