left towards D–.
or
Pull the left-hand steering wheel

The automatic transmission shifts down one gear and restricts the shift range to
the relevant gear.

maximum
engine speed when shifting down, the
automatic transmission protects against

If the maximum engine speed for
the shift
range is reached and you continue to
accelerate, the automatic transmission
shifts up in order to prevent the engine
from overrevving, even if the shift range is
restricted.
