Driving your vehicle
366
Dual clutch transmission (DCT)
䳜 In sports mode, the driver must
execute upshifts in accordance
with road conditions, taking care
to keep the engine speed below
the red zone.
䳜 In sports mode, only the 7 for
ward gears can be selected. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse)
or P (Park) position as required.
䳜 In sports mode, downshifts are
made automatically when the
vehicle slows down. When the
vehicle stops, 1st gear is auto
matically selected.
䳜 In sports mode, when the engine
rpm approaches the red zone
shift points are varied to upshift
automatically.
䳜 To maintain the required levels of
vehicle performance and safety,
the system may not execute cer
tain gearshifts when the shift
lever is operated.
䳜 When driving on a slippery road,
push the shift lever forward into
the + (up) position. This causes
the transmission to shift into the
2nd gear which is better for
smooth driving on a slippery road.
Push the shift lever to the -
(down) side to shift back to the
1st gear.
䳜 When SPORT mode is activated:
- The engine rpm will tend to
remain raised over a certain
length of time even after
releasing the accelerator.
- Upshifts are delayed when
accelerating.
䳜 In SPORT mode, the fuel effi
ciency may decrease.
Shift lock system (if equipped)
For your safety, the Dual clutch
transmission has a shift lock system
which prevents shifting the trans
mission from P (Park) into R
(Reverse) unless the brake pedal is
depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or turn the igni
tion switch to the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
If the brake pedal is repeatedly
depressed and released with the
shift lever in the P (Park) position, a
chattering noise & vibration near
the shift lever may be heard. This is
a normal condition.
Always fully depress the brake
pedal before and while shifting out
of the P (Park) position into another
position to avoid inadvertent motion
of the vehicle which could injure per
sons in or around the vehicle.
