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.
