: Selecting gear steps using the M position achieves suitable engine braking forces by
operating the shift lever or paddle shift switches.
To drive using temporary gear step selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle shift switch when
driving with the shift lever in D.
Changing the gear step allows restriction of the highest gear, preventing unnecessary
upshifting and enabling the level of engine braking force to be selected.
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected gear step, from D1 to D10, 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.
