D (Drive)
This is the normal driving position.
The transmission will automatically
shift through a 7-gear sequence, pro-
viding the best fuel economy and
power.
For extra power when passing anoth-
er vehicle or driving uphill, depress
the accelerator fully. The transmis-
sion will automatically downshift to
the next lower gear (or gears, as
appropriate).
The DRIVE MODE switch, located
on the shift lever console, allows the
driver to switch from COMFORT
mode to SPORT or ECO mode (if
equipped).
For more details, refer to "Drive
Mode Integrated Control System"
later in this chapter.
WARNING
•
Do not shift into gear unless
your foot is firmly on the
brake pedal. Shifting into gear
when the engine is running at
high speed can cause the
vehicle to move very rapidly.
You may lose control of the
vehicle and cause accidents.
•
Do not drive with the shift
lever in N (Neutral). The
engine brake will not work
and may lead to an accident.
NOTICE
Always make sure the vehicle is
stationary, at a complete stop,
before selecting D (Drive).
