lever up to the “+” side or down to the “–” side. The first
shift range position is “5” (fifth range) when the selector
lever is shifted to the “S” position.
However, if you move the lever to the “S” position in AI

(third range) will be the first shift range. This is because
the suitable shift range is selected depending on the

approximate distance to an obstacle. It will inform you of
the approximate distance to an obstacle by displaying
information on the multiinformation display and the
screen, and with beeping sounds.
