When the shift lever is in the S
position, the shift lever can be
operated as follows:
1 Upshifting
2 Downshifting
The selected shift range, from S1 to
S8 will be displayed on the multi-
information display.
The initial shift range in S mode
is set automatically to 4, 5 or 6

● You can choose from 8 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.
● To prevent the engine from over-
revving, upshifting may automati-
cally occur.
● To protect the automatic transmis-
sion, a function is adopted that
automatically selects a higher shift
range when the fluid temperature
is high.
● When the shift range is 7 or lower,
holding the shift lever toward “+”
sets the shift range to 8.
WARNING
■ To prevent an accident when
releasing the shift lock
Before pressing the shift lock
override button, make sure to set
the parking brake and depress the
brake pedal.
If the accelerator pedal is acci-
dentally depressed instead of the
brake pedal when the shift lock
override button is pressed and the
shift lever is shifted out of P, the
vehicle may suddenly start, possi-
bly leading to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury.
