■If your vehicle has to be stopped in an emergency
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in the normal way,
stop the vehicle using the following procedure:
Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it.
Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required to slow
the vehicle.
Shift the shift lever to N.
If the shift lever is shifted to N
After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.

■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.

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 1 and 6 according to vehicle speed and driving
conditions. However, 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 engine braking force than a higher shift range,
and the engine speed will also increase.
