Automatic Transmission
■Shifting the shift lever
While the “START STOP ENGINE” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, move the shift
lever with the brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P and D, make sure that the vehicle is com-
pletely stopped.
■Shift position purpose
*1: Shifting the shift lever to D allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving con-
ditions.
Setting the shift lever to D is recommended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear ranges, controls engine braking force, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.

■Selecting gears in the S position
When the shift lever is in S, the sh ift lever can be operated as follows:
Upshifting
Downshifting
The selected shift range, from S1 to S6,
will be displayed in the meter.
The initial shift range in S mode is set
automatically to S5 or S4 according to
vehicle speed. However, the initial shift
range may be set to S3 if AI-SHIFT has
operated while the shift lever was in D.

■Shift ranges and their functions
Automatically selecting gears between S1 and S6 according to vehicle speed and driv-
ing conditions. But the gear is limited according to selected shift range.
You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.
A lower shift range will provide greater engi ne braking force than a higher shift range,
and the engine speed will also increase.
