*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving condi-
tions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended for normal driving. You
can choose shift range suitable for your driving situation by operat ing the paddle shift
switches.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear ranges,
controls engine braking force, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” paddle shift switch. The shift
range can then be selected by operating the “-” and “+” paddle shift switches.

2Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to D8, will

1Upshifting
2Downshifting
The initial shift range in S mode is set auto-
matically to S4, S5 or S6 according to vehi-
cle’s speed. However, the initial shift range
may be set to S3 if AI-SHIFT has operated
while the shift lever was in the D position.
(  P.20)
A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking forces than a higher shift range.
