sion.
To shift the select lever from the “P” to any
other position, you should depress the
brake pedal fully then move the select
lever. This prevents the vehicle from
lurching when it is started.
! R (Reverse)
This position is for backing the vehicle. To
shift from the “N” to “R” position, stop the
vehicle completely then move the lever to
the “R” position while pressing the select
lever button in.
When the ignition switch has been turned
to the “LOCK” (off) position, movement of
the select lever from the “N” to “R” position
is possible for a limited time period by
depressing the brake pedal, and then it
becomes impossible. For details, refer to
“Shift lock function” F7-19.
! N (Neutral)
This position is for restarting a stalled
hybrid system. In this position, the trans-
mission is neutral, me aning that the
wheels and transmission are not locked.
Therefore, the vehicle will roll freely, even
on the slightest incline unless the parking
brake or foot brake is applied.
Avoid coasting with the transmission in
neutral. Engine braking has no effect in
this condition.
WARNING
Do not drive the vehicle with the
select lever in the “N” (neutral)
position. Engine braking has no
effect in this condition and the risk
of an accident is consequently in-
creased.
NOTE
If the select lever is in the “N” position
when you stop the hybrid system for
parking, you may not subsequently be
able to move it to the “R ” and “P”
positions. If this happens, turn the
ignition switch to the “ON” position.
You will then be able to move the select
lever to the “P” position.
! D (Drive)
This position is for normal driving. The
transmission shifts automatically and con-
tinuously into a suitable gear according to
the vehicle speed and the acceleration
you require. Also, while driving up and
down a hill, the transmission assists and
controls the driving performance and
engine braking while corresponding to
the road grade.
When more acceleration is required in the
“D” position, depress the accelerator
pedal fully to the floor and hold that
position. The transmission will automati-
cally downshift. When you release the
pedal, the transmission will return to the
original gear position.
For models with manual mode, if one of
the shift paddles behind the steering
wheel is operated while driving in the “D”
position, the transmission will temporarily
switch to the manual mode. In this mode,
you can shift into any gear position using
the shift paddles. For details about the
manual mode, refer to “Selection of
manual mode” F7-18. Once the vehicle
speed stabi lizes, the transmission will
switch from the manual mode back to
the “D” position for normal driving.
