nShifting the shift lever
While the engine switch is in IGNITI ON ON mode, move the shift lever with
the brake pedal depressed.

completely stopped.
n Shift position purpose
*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driv-
ing conditions.
Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear ranges, controls engine braking for ce, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.
