4-2. Driving procedures
■
Driving on a downhill
On declines, there may be case where the vehicle shifts down automatically
to obtain engine braking. As a result of the downshifting, the engine speed
may increase.
■
Second start mode automatic deactivation
Second start mode is automatically deactivated if the engine is turned off after
driving in second start mode.
■
S mode
When the shift range is 4 or lower, holding the shift lever toward "+" sets the
shift range to 5 (5-speed models) or 6 (6-speed models).
AI-SHIFT
■
AI-SHIFT automatically selects a suitable gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
(Shifting the shift lever to the S position cancels the function.)
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 4 or 5.
(P. 387, 400)
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.
