Changing shift ranges in S mode
When the shift lever is in the S position, the shift lever can be oper-
ated as follows:
Upshifting
Downshifting
The initial shift range in S mode is set automatically to 5 or 4 accord-
ing to vehicle speed. However, the initial shift range may be set to 3 if
AI-SHIFT has operated while the shift lever was in the D position.

■ Shift position uses
* 1
: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable
for the driving conditions.
Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended 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.
