■Driving mode
P.38
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “- ” or “+” paddle shift switch.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be downshifted to a range
that enables engine braking force that is suitable to driving conditions.
When the “+” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be one gear higher than the
gear in use during normal D position driving.
Changing the shift range allo ws restriction of the highest gear, preventing unnecessary
upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected.

8-speed models: The selected shift range,
from D1 to D8, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
6-speed models: The selected shift range,
from D1 to D6, will be displayed on the
multi-information display.
To return to normal D position driving, the
“+” paddle shift switch must be held down
for a period of time.
■Shift ranges and their functions
A lower shift range will provid e greater engine braking forces than a higher shift range.

When in the M position, the g ear will not change unless the shift lever or paddle shift
switches are operated.
However, even when in the M position, the gears will be automatically changed in the fol-
lowing situation:
● When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
● When the automatic transmi ssion fluid or engine coolant temperature is low.
● When automatic transmission fluid temperature is high.
● When the needle of the tachometer is in the red zone (the range which exceeds the
allowable revs of the engine).
In the following situations, the g ear will not shift even if the shift lever or paddle shift switches
are operated.
● “Slippery Road Cannot Shift to Lower Gear” is displayed on the multi-information dis-
play.
● The vehicle speed is low (upshift only).
