Shift position purpose

P - Parking the vehicle/starting the engine
R - Reversing
N - Neutral
D - Normal driving*1
S - S mode driving*2

*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recommended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possible gear ranges, controls engine braking force, and prevents unnecessary upshifting.
