If the select lever is pushed sideways before the brake pedal is depressed,
select lever operation may not be possible. Depress the brake pedal before
shifting the select lever out of P.
■Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer

shifting is not possible (when downshifting will cause the engine speed to
enter the red zone), a buzzer will sound to warn the driver that downshifting
cannot be performed.

Downshifting can be performed even when using cruise control. After down-
shifting, the set speed continues. (oP. 184, 186)

ried out. Shift the select lever to the D position.
