Continuously variable transmission (CVT)
(if so equipped)
N00560200047
The CVT will automatically and continuously change its gear
ratio depending on road and driving conditions. This helps
achieve smooth driving and excellent fuel efficiency. Also you
can manually shift up and shift down the transmission. Refer to
“Sports mode” on page 3-80.
DRIVING UPHILL
The transmission prevents unnecessary upshifts even when the
accelerator pedal is released and ensures smooth driving.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
According to the conditions, the transmission will automati-
cally shift to a lower gear ratio to achieve stronger engine brak-
ing. This may help reduce your need to use the service brake.
