■ 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 pos-
sible gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents unnec-
essary upshifting.
