started, but they do not indicate an abnormal-
ity.
• You may hear operational sounds of the
Twin Clutch SST and you may feel vibra-
tion in the vehicle body.

“N” (NEUTRAL) position and depress
the accelerator pedal, increases in the en-
gine speed will be limited.

lutions do not rise to over 3,000 rpm in order
to protect the engine even if the accelerator
pedal is depressed.
WARNING
l
Never run the engine in a closed or poor-
ly ventilated area any longer than is nee-
ded to move your vehicle in or out of the
area. Carbon monoxide gases are odour-
less and can be fatal.
