Upshifting
Downshifting
The initial shift range in S mode is set automatically to “5” or “4”
according 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 ranges and their functions
● You can choose from 6 levels of engine braking force.
● A lower shift range will provide greater engine braking force than
a higher shift range, and the engine speed will also increase.
■
S mode
●
When the shift range is “4” or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets
the shift range to “6”.
●
To prevent the engine from over-revving, upshifting may automatically
occur.
●
To protect the automatic transmission, a function is adopted that auto-
matically shifts to the top range when the temperature is too hot.
■
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.
(Shifting the shift lever to the S position cancels the function.)
