range selection, operate the “-”
paddle shift switch. The shift
range can then be selected by
operating the “-” and “+” paddle
shift switches. Changing the
shift range allows restriction of
the highest gear, preventing
upshifting and enabling the level
of engine braking force to be
selected.

2 Downshifting
The selected shift range, from D1 to
D6, will be displayed on the multi-
information display.
■ Shift ranges and their functions
● You can choose from 6 levels of
accelerating force and engine
braking force.
● A lower shift range will provide
greater accelerating force and
engine braking force than a higher
shift range, and the engine revolu-
tions will also increase.
■ Downshifting restriction warn-
ing buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving
performance, downshifting opera-
tion may sometimes be restricted. In
some circumstances, downshifting
may not be possible even when the
paddle shift switch is operated. (A
buzzer will sound twice.)
