■ Shift position uses
*
1
: Shifting to the “D” position allows the system to select a gear suitable for
the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the “D” position is recom-
mended for normal driving.
*
2
: If equipped, by selecting shift ranges using paddle shift switches, you can
control engine braking forces.
*
3
: Selecting shift ranges using “S” mode restricts the upper limit of the possi-
ble gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents unneces-
sary upshifting.
