■
Automatic deactivation of gear steps selection in the D position (vehi-
cles with a paddle shift switch)
Temporally gear steps selection mode in the D position will be deactivated in
the following situations:
●When the vehicle comes to a stop
●If the accelerator pedal is depressed for more than a certain period of time in
one gear step
●When the shift lever is shifted to other than D
●When the "+" paddle shift switch is held down for a period of time
■
When driving with cruise control activated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not be
canceled.
●While driving in D or 7-speed sport sequential shiftmatic mode, downshifting
to 6, 5 or 4. (P. 166, 167)
●When switching the driving mode to sport mode while driving in D position.
(P. 165)
■
Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
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 or paddle shift switch (if equipped) is oper-
ated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■
Sport mode automatic deactivation
Sport mode is automatically deactivated if the engine switch is turned off after
driving in sport mode.
■
Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
"ON" position (vehicles without a smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with a smart entry & start system) and the brake pedal is
being depressed.
