to 6.
●To prevent excessive engine speed, a function was adopted that automatically selects a
higher shift range before the engine speed becomes too high.
●To protect the automatic transmission, a functi on is adopted that automatically selects a
higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.

the engine brake will not operate in the S mode, even when downshifting to 5 or 4.
