You can choose from 8 levels of accelerating force and engine brak-

A lower shift range will provide greater accelerating force and

engine braking force than a higher shift range, and the engine revo-
lutions will also increase.
If you accelerate while in ranges 1 to 7, the shift range may automati-
●
cally range up in accordance with the vehicle' s speed.
