*
1
: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noises, set the shift lever in the D
position for normal driving.
*
2
: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible
gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents unnecessary
upshifting
When the shift lever is in the S position, the shift lever can be oper-
ated as follows:
Upshifting
Downshifting
The initial shift range in S mode is set automatically to “4” according to
vehicle speed. However, the initial shift range may be set to “3” if AI-
SHIFT has operated while the shift lever was in the D position.

Shift ranges and their functions
You can choose from 5 levels of engine braking force.
A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than a
higher shift range, and the engine speed will also increase.
