Your automatic transmission has a shift
lock system to minimize the possibility of
incorrect operation. This means you can
only shift out of “P” position when the
brake pedal is depressed (with the ignition
switch is set at ON).

The shift position is also displayed on the
instrument cluster.
P:Parking, engine starting and
key removal
R:Reverse
N:Neutral
D:Normal driving
4:Engine braking

(b) Normal driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in “How
to start the engine” on page 316 in
Section 3. The transmission must be in
“P” or “N”.
2. With your foot holding down the brake
pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.
When the lever is in the “D” position, the
automatic transmission system will select
the most suitable gear for running condi-
tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-
ing, hard towing, etc.
Always use the “D” position for better fuel
economy and quieter driving. In this posi-
tion, shifting into the overdrive gear is
possible. If the engine coolant temperature
is low, the transmission will not shift into
the overdrive gear even in the “D” posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brake
pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.AI (Artificial Intelligence) shifting con-
trol—
AI shifting control selects the most
suitable shift range automatically ac-
cording to the driver’s operation and
driving condition.
AI shifting control operates automatical-
ly with the selector lever in the “D”
position. When the lever is moved to
the “S” position, this function will be
cancelled.
Shifting control on the slope:
On inclines, you can drive smoothly
with reduced shifting quantity. On de-
clines, the vehicle will shift down auto-
matically to obtain optimum engine
braking and reduce the driver ’s foot
braking load.
Automatic shifting point change con-
trol:
The most suitable shift range is se-
lected depending on the driver ’s accel-
erator pedal operation and vehicle con-
dition.(c) Driving in “S” mode
You can change the shift range position
in the “S” mode. The shift range posi-
tion can be switched between “6” (sixth
range) and “1” (first range) by moving
the selector lever up to the “+” side or
down to the “–” side. When the selec-
tor lever is shifted to the “S” position,
the initial shift range position is “4”
(fourth range) or “5” (fifth range) de-
pending on the vehicle speed.
However, if the selector lever is shifted
to the “S” position when AI shifting
control is being performed, the initial
shift range position may be “3” (third
range). This is because the suitable
shift range is selected depending on
the driving condition.
The “S” mode indicator light and the cur-
rent shift range position are shown on the
instrument cluster.

TIPS FOR USING SMART KEY SYSTEM
When using the smart key system, it is
possible to start or stop the engine as
long as the key is on your person.
For this reason, it is possible that a pas-
senger may remove the key from the ve-
hicle without the driver being aware of the
fact. In such a case, it is not possible to
restart the engine after having turned it
off. In addition, it is possible that one may
get out of the vehicle without being aware
that the ignition switch has not been
turned off completely.
When driving or getting in or out of the
vehicle, drivers should make sure that
they are carrying the key.
CAUTION
Do not touch the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch (engine switch) while
driving.
If you have to make an emergency stop,
press and hold the “ENGINE START
STOP” switch for more than 3 seconds.
Master warning light and multiinforma-
tion display
SYSTEM FUNCTION REMINDERS
Follow the instructions described below if
any of the following warnings occur:
(A) A warning buzzer sounds once from
the instrument cluster when the igni-
tion switch is turned on
This indicates that the driver has gotten
into the vehicle without the key. The “KEY
IS NOT DETECTED” message will also
appear on the multi−information display
and the master warning light will come on.
Operate the ignition switch only after tak-
ing care that the key is in the vehicle.If the warning light is still lit when the key
is in the vehicle, the key battery is dis-
charged. Check that the indicator light on
the key comes on by pushing the lock
button on the key. When the indicator light
does not come on, change the key battery
so that smart key system works properly.
(B) A warning buzzer sounds once from
the instrument cluster, accompanied
by three warning sounds from the
vehicle when the driver gets out of
the vehicle and closes the door
This indicates that the driver is attempting
to leave the vehicle carrying the key with
ignition switch not set at OFF although the
transmission selector lever has been set
in the “P” position. The “KEY IS NOT
DETECTED” message will also appears on
the multi−information display and the mas-
ter warning light will come on.
Get out of the vehicle only after turning
off the engine by pressing the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch and checking that
the ignition switch indicator light has gone
off. If the driver returns to the vehicle
without carrying the key and begins driv-
ing, a warning buzzer will sound once
more.
