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.
