When driving
■ Downshifting restrictions (standard type)
The maximum allowable speeds are as follows.
■ S mode (multi-mode type)
When the shift range is “3” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to “5”.
■ AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the optimal gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
Standard type
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
Multi-mode type
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
(Shifting the shift lever to the S position cancels the function.)
■ When driving with the cruise control system
Standard type
The engine brake will not operate when downshifting from D to 3. (→P. 20 9 )
Multi-mode type
Engine braking will not occur in S mode, even when downshifting to “4”.
(→P. 2 0 9)
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
→P. 5 9 2
