2-1. Driving procedures

Changing shift ranges in S mode (multi-mode type)

Shift the shift lever to the S position and operate the shift lever.

Upshifting

Downshifting

The initial shift range in S mode is automatically set to 4 or 5. How-
ever, the initial shift range may be set to 3 if AI-SHIFT has operated
while the shift lever was in the D position. (

→P. 126)

When the shift range is 4 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+”
sets the shift range to 5.

To protect the automatic transmission, a function is adopted that
automatically selects a higher shift range when the fluid temperature
is high.
