■ Shift position purpose
*
1
: To improve fuel efficiency and reduce noises, set the shift lever in the
D position for normal driving.
*
2
: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the
possible gear ranges, controls engine braking force, and prevents
unnecessary upshifting.
