Twin Clutch SST
control mode
Characteristic
NORMAL (Control
mode when engine
is started)
Control mode for normal
driving on local roads, ex-
pressways, and the like.
Smooth shifting is per-
formed at low engine
speeds for economical driv-
ing with good ride quality.
SPORT
Control mode for driving
on mountain roads, roads
with uphill and downhill
slopes, and expressways
with long downhill slopes
where engine braking is nec-
essary.
Compared to “Normal”
mode, shifting occurs at
higher engine speeds and is
quicker. In addition, quick
downshifting is possible
when the accelerator pedal
is depressed for quick accel-
eration or when the brakes
are applied.
S-Sport (Super
Sport)
In the “S-Sport” mode, shift-
ing occurs at higher engine
speeds and is even quicker
than in the “Sport” mode.
“S-Sport” mode is designed
to be used while driving on
closed circuit tracks. Do
not use this mode on public
roads.
NOTE
l
Damage
to your vehicle caused by racing and/
or driving on closed circuit tracks will not be
covered under warranty. Please review the
“Service booklet: NEW VEHICLE LIMI-
TED WARRANTY”.
l
When continuously driving on closed circuit
tracks or at other locations where the engine
is operated at high speeds and under a heavy
load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature
will have a tendency to rise.
In this case, if the temperature rises too high,
both “SLOW DOWN” and the
warning dis-
play will appear on the information screen in
the multi-information display to alert the driv-
er.
If the warning display appears, be sure to
refer to “Warning display” on page 4-23
and follow the appropriate measures.
l
The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be se-
lected both when “D” range operation is se-
lected and when manual shifting is selected.
l
If you select “Sport” mode or “S-Sport”
mode while the engine is cold, the transmis-
sion may shift up at different speeds com-
pared to that when the engine is warm.
This is simply the operation of the control sys-
tem to warm the engine quickly. It does not
indicate a malfunction.
l
For slippery road surfaces, such as roads
with accumulated snow, “Normal” mode is
recommended for smooth shifting at low en-
gine speeds.

the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch forward.
To shift from “Sport” mode to “S-Sport” mode
While the vehicle is stopped, push the Twin Clutch
SST control mode switch forward and hold it for 3
