D6, will be displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display.
■Shift ranges and their functions

force than a higher shift range, and the engine revolutions will also increase.

sometimes be restricted. In some cir- cumstances, downshifting may not be possible even when the paddle shift
switch is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
