■Changing shift ranges in the D position
Operating the paddle shift switches allows shift ranges to be selected to suit the driving con-
ditions.
Pull the “-” paddle shift switch toward you.
The indicator in the meter cluster will
change to display the selected shift range.
Higher shift range:
Pull the “+” paddle shift switch toward you.

Pulling and holding the “+” paddle shift switch for a certain period of time allows you to
return to normal D position driving. If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a
certain period of time in one range, shift range selection in the D position will be automati-
cally deactivated.
