When driving
UK_AURIS_HV_EE
Using engine braking
To use engine braking, select the B position.
During high speed driving, you may feel that deceleration by engine brak-
ing is less than that of a conventional vehicle.
Do not continue normal driving with the transmission in B for a long time.
This may cause decreased fuel economy. To prevent this, use D for nor-
mal driving.
Reverse warning buzzer
When shifting into R, a buzzer will sound to inform the driver that the shift
lever is in R.
Eco drive mode
When the accelerator pedal is depressed in Eco drive mode, it may take
more time to accelerate than usual. This is normal operation.
Alarms
If the shift position is changed in any of the following situations, a buzzer will
sound and the shifting operation will be disabled or the shift position will
automatically change to N. When this happens, select an appropriate shift
position.
Situations where the shifting operation will be disabled:
• When the shift lever is changed from P to another position without
depressing the brake pedal.
• When the shift position is changed from P or N to B.
Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
• When the P position switch is pushed while the vehicle is moving.
• When shift position R is selected while the vehicle is moving forward.
• When shift position D is selected while the vehicle is moving in reverse.
• When the shift position is changed from R to B.
