■Shifting the shift lever
While the 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 to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving con-
ditions.
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 force, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.
