Selecting shift ranges in the "D" position
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the "-"paddle
shift switch. The shift range can then be selected by operating the "-"
and "+" paddle shift switches. Changing the shift range allows restric-
tion of the highest gear, preventing unnecessary upshifting and
enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected.
■
Shift ranges and their functions
● 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.
2-1. Driving procedures
Upshifting
Downshifting
The selected shift range, from "1"
to "5", or "D" will be displayed in
the meter.
To return to normal "D" position
driving, the "+" paddle shift
switch must be held down for a
period of time.
When a shift range higher than
"5" is selected, the shift range
will return to the normal D posi-
tion.
