Shift ranges and their functions
● Automatically selecting gears between 1 and 6 according to vehi-
cle speed and driving conditions. But, the gear is limited accord-
ing 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 automati-
●
cally selects a higher shift range before the engine speed becomes too high.
To protect the automatic transaxle, a function is adopted that automatically
●
selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature is high.
■
Downshift restriction warning buzzer (S mode)
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■
When driving with the cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control
activated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate while driving in S mode and down-
shifting to 5 or 4 because cruise control or dynamic radar cruise control will
not be canceled. (P. 257, 261)
