Changing shift ranges in S mode
When the shift lever is in the S position, the shift lever can be operated as
follows:
Upshifting
Downshifting
The initial shift range in S mode is set automatically to “5” or “4” accord-
ing to vehicle speed.
■
Shift ranges and their functions
●
You can choose from 6 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.
■
Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the air
conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency. (
P. 342, 350) To improve air con-
ditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■
Automatic return to normal driving mode
If snow mode or sport mode is selected, the driving mode will automatically return
to normal mode when the hybrid system is turned off.
■
S mode
●
When the shift range is “5” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the
shift range to “6”.
●
To prevent the engine from over-revving, upshifting may automatically occur.
