Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected shift range, from S1 to
S8 will be displayed on the multi-
information display.

is set automatically to 4, 5 or 6
according to vehicle speed.

may be set to 3 if AI-SHIFT has
operated while the shift lever
was in the D position. ( P.209)
■S mode
●You can choose from 8 levels of
accelerating force and engine
braking force.
●A lower shift range will provide
greater accelerating force and
engine braking force than a higher
shift range, and t he engine revolu-
tions will also increase.
●To prevent the e ngine from over-
revving, upshifting may automati-
cally occur.
●To protect the automatic transmis-
sion, a function is adopted that
automatically selects a higher shift
range when the fluid temperature
is high.
●When the shift range is 7 or lower,
holding the shift lever toward “+”
sets the shift range to 8.
