2-1. Driving procedures
■ Downshift restriction
The maximum allowable speeds are as follows.
■ AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
When driving downhill, there may be cases where the vehicle shifts down
automatically to obtain engine braking. As a result of the downshifting, the
engine speed may increase.
■ When driving with the cruise control system (if equipped)
Engine braking will not occur when downshifting from D. (P. 159)
■ If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 328
■ When driving on slippery road surfaces
Do not accelerate or shift gears suddenly.
Sudden changes in engine braking may cause the vehicle to spin or skid,
resulting in an accident.
