Selecting shift ranges in the D
position
To drive using temporary shift range
selection, operate the "-" or "+" paddle
shift switch.
When the "-" paddle shift switch is
operated, the shift range switches to a
range that enables engine braking
force that is suitable to driving condi-
tions. When the "+" paddle shift switch
is operated, the shift range switches to
a range that is one range higher than
the current range.
Changing the shift range allows
restriction of the highest gear, prevent-
ing unnecessary upshifting and
enabling the level of engine braking
