If the vehicle becomes stuck
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes
stuck in mud, dirt, or snow.
Stop the engine. Set the parking
brake and put the shift lever in P (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or
N (vehicles with a manual transmission).
Remove the mud, snow, or sand f ...

Transmission Control Switch Circuit
DESCRIPTION
After moving the shift lever to S, it is possible to switch the shift range between
"1" (S1 range) and "6" (S6 range) using the transmission control switch.
Moving the shift lever to "+" once raises the shift range by one, and moving
the shift lever to ...
