Dual clutch transmission (DCT)
Dual clutch transmission operation
The dual clutch transmission has 7
forward speeds and one reverse
speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically in the D (Drive) posi
tion.
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
䳜 ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
䳜 Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position, then set
the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol
lowed.
䳜 When using Manual Shift Mode,
use caution when shifting from a
higher gear to a lower gear on
slippery roads. This could cause
the tires to slip and may result in
an accident.
䳜 To avoid damage to your trans
mission, do not try to accelerate
with the shift lever in R (Reverse)
or any forward gear position with
the brake engaged.
䳜 When stopped on a slope, do not
hold the vehicle with accelerator
pedal. Engage the service brake or
the parking brake.
䳜 The Dual Clutch Transmission
gives the driving feel of a manual
transmission, yet provides the
ease of a fully automatic trans
mission. Unlike a traditional auto
matic transmission, the gear
shifting can be felt (and heard) on
the dual clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically
shifting manual transmission.
