Engine braking will not occur during shift range selection in the D position, even
when downshifting to range 7, 6, 5 or 4. (P. 173 , 1 7 7)

mode or “Sport” mode, the mode is automatically deactivated.

switches operated) or in M, an indicator on
the tachometer illuminates in 3 steps in the
case of high engine speeds to encourage
the driver to upshift.
● If the third (red) segment illuminates, a
buzzer will also sound.
