To drive using temporary gear step
selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle

tion of the highest gear, preventing
unnecessary upshifting and enabling
the level of engine braking force to be
selected.

selection in the D position
Shift range selection in the D position will
be deactivated in the following situations:
O When the vehicle comes to a stop
O If the accelerator pedal is depressed for

tion other than D

button, make sure to set the parking
brake and depress the brake pedal.

sibly leading to an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
