tion display.

P.439
To drive using temporary shift range
selection, operate the “-” or “+” paddle
shift switch when driving with the shift
position in D.
When the “-” paddle shift switch is
operated, the shift range switches to a
range that enables engine braking
force that is suitable to driving condi-
tions.
When the “+” paddle shift switch is
operated, the shift range switches to a
range that is one range higher than the
current range.
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.
WARNING
● In order to prevent the shift position
from accidentally being changed, do
not touch the P position switch when
not using them.
NOTICE
■ When exiting the vehicle (driver’s
seat only)
Check that the shift position indicator
shows P and that the parking brake indi-
cator is illuminated before opening the
door and exiting the vehicle.
