Changing shift ranges in S mode

When the shift lever is in the S position, the shift lever or paddle shift

switches can be operated as follows:

The initial shift range in S mode is set automatically to "4" or "5"

according to vehicle speed. However, the initial shift range may be set

to "3" if AI-SHIFT has operated while the shift lever was in the D posi-

tion. (P. 168)

● The vehicle is allowed to shift up and down to provide the most

suitable gear selection based on your driving situation. (e.g. S4:

1 to 4 or, 4 to 1)

● You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.

A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than

a higher shift range, and the engine speed will also increase.

● You can choose the gear range you want for different levels of

acceleration. (e.g. uphill, sporty driving, etc.)
