4-2. Driving procedures
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 automati-
cally shifts to the top range when the temperature is too hot.
AI-SHIFT
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the suitable gear according to driver input and
the driving situation.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
(Shifting the shift lever to the S position or paddle shifting cancels the func-
tion.)
When driving with cruise control or radar cruise control activated
When downshifting to 5 or 4 by shifting the shift lever to the S position or pad-
dle shifting, cruise control or radar cruise control will not be canceled.
(P. 222, 235)
Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in ON
mode and the brake pedal is being depressed.
