Selecting shift ranges in the D position
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the "-" shift paddle
switch. The shift range can then be selected by operating the "-" and "+"
shift paddle switches. Changing the shift range allows restriction of the
upper limit of the gears to be used, preventing unnecessary upshifting
and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected.
