AI (Artificial Intelligence) shifting control—
AI shifting control selects the most suitable
shift range automatically according to the
driver’s operation and driving condition.
AI shifting control operates automatically
with the selector lever in the “D” position.
When the lever is moved to the “S” posi-
tion, this function will be cancelled.
D
Shifting control on the slope:
On inclines, you can drive smoothly with
reduced shifting quantity. On declines,
the vehicle will shift down automatically
to obtain optimum engine braking and
reduce the driver’s foot braking load.
D
Automatic shifting point change
control:
The most suitable shift range is selected
depending on the driver’s accelerator
pedal operation and vehicle condition.
(c) Driving in “S” mode
You can change the shift range position
in the “S” mode. The shift range position
can be switched between “6” (sixth range)
and “1” (first range) by moving the selec-
tor lever up to the “+” side or down to the
“–” side. When the selector lever is shifted
to the “S” position, the initial shift range
position is “4” (fourth range) or “5” (fifth
range) depending on the vehicle speed.
However, if the selector lever is shifted to
the “S” position when AI shifting control
is being performed, the initial shift range
position may be “3” (third range). This is
because the suitable shift range is se-
lected depending on the driving condition.
The “S” mode indicator light and current shift
range position are shown on the instrument
cluster.

Shift range positions
D
“6” (Sixth range):
The most suitable gear is selected
automatically between first and over-
drive (sixth) gears according to the
vehicle speed or driving conditions.
D
“5” (Fifth range):
The most suitable gear is selected auto-
matically between first and fifth gears ac-
cording to vehicle speed or driving condi-
tions.
