stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
1Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it.
Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required to slow
the vehicle.
2Shift the shift lever to N.

■Driving mode
P.38
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle shift switch.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be downshifted to a range
that enables engine braking force that is suitable to driving conditions.
When the “+” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be one gear higher than the
gear in use during normal D position driving.
Changing the shift range allo ws restriction of the highest gear, preventing unnecessary
upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected.
Except F SPORT models
F SPORT models
1Upshifting
2Downshifting
8-speed models: The selected shift range,
from D1 to D8, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
6-speed models: The selected shift range,
from D1 to D6, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
To return to normal D position driving, the
“+” paddle shift switch must be held down
for a period of time.
■Shift ranges and their functions
A lower shift range will provid e greater engine braking forces than a higher shift range.

When in the M position, the gear will not change unless the shift lever or paddle shift
switches are operated.
However, even when in the M position, the ge ars will be automatically changed in the fol-
lowing situation:
● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
● When the automatic transmission fluid or engine coolant temperature is low.
● When automatic transmission fluid temperature is high.
● When the needle of the tachometer is in the red zone (the range which exceeds the
allowable revs of the engine).
In the following situations, the gear will not shift even if the shift lever or paddle shift switches
are operated.
● “Slippery Road Cannot Shift to Lower Gear” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play.
● The vehicle speed is low (upshift only).
