■
Shift ranges and their functions
● Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to
vehicle speed and driving conditions. But, the gear is limited
according to selected shift range.
● 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.
■
S mode
●
When the shift range is 5 or lower, holding the shift lever toward "+" sets
the shift range to 6.
●
To prevent excessive engine speed, a function was adopted that auto-
matically selects a higher shift range before the engine speed becomes
too high.
●
To protect the automatic transaxle, a function is adopted that automati-
cally selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.
■
When driving with the cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control (if
equipped)
Engine braking will not occur in S mode, even when downshifting to 5 or 4.
