4-2. Driving procedures
GS350_300_GS F_OM_OM30J17E_(GE)
To drive using temporary shift range selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle shift
switch.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be downshifted
to a range that enables engine braking force that is suitable to driving conditions.
When the “+” paddle shift switch is operated, the shift range will be one gear
upper than the gear in use during normal D position driving.
Changing the shift range allows restriction of the highest shift range, preventing
unnecessary upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be
selected.
Upshifting
Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to D8, 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.
■ Shift ranges and their functions
A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking forces than a higher shift
range.
