D6, will be display ed on the multi-
information display.
■Shift ranges and their functions
●You can choose from 6 levels of
accelerating force and engine
braking force.
●A lower shift range will provide
greater accelerating force and
engine braking force than a higher
shift range, and t he engine revolu-
tions will also increase.
■Downshifting restriction warn-
