Adaptive control
In order to realize smoother driving while driving in D position, an appropri-
ate gear is automatically selected by limiting upshifting and performing
downshifting operations according to driver operations and driving condi-
tions.
●
When driving uphill, prevents unnecessary upshifting and downshifting.
● When driving downhill, downshifting is performed at engine speeds
higher than usual.
●
When driving on curves, prevents upshifting even when accelerating.
●
When the brake pedal is depressed firmly, downshifting is automatically
performed, fully utilizing engine braking.
●
When the accelerator pedal is suddenly released, prevents upshifting.
Adaptive control operates automatically when the select lever is in the D
position. (The function is canceled when the paddle shift levers are operated
or the select lever is shifted to the M position.)
WARNING
■ When driving on slippery road surfaces
Be careful of downshifting and sudden acceleration, as this could result in
the vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.
■
To prevent incorrect operation
Do not attach items such as accessories to the paddle shift levers.
Doing so may unintentionally move the paddle shift levers.

Gear Shift Indicator (if equipped)
The indication of the gear shift indicator is only as a guideline for driving
more fuel-efficiently. The indicator does not inform the driver about the safe
shift operation timing. The driver has the responsibility for suitable shift oper-
ation depending on the traffic conditions or driving conditions (e.g., overtak-
ing or driving on an uphill slope).
This indicator supports the driver to drive more fuel-efficiently. The vehicle
system determines the shift operation timing depending on the driving condi-
tions, and informs the driver by the indicator on the combination meter. For
details, refer to Gear shift indicator.
