NOTE
l
On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec-
tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before
applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive
the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.
When the CVT makes no speed change
E00603100139
If the transmission does not change speeds while
driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough
speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may be
that there is something unusual happening in the
transmission, causing a safety device to activate.
We recommend you to have your vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
Twin Clutch SST
(Sport Shift Transmission)*
E00620900057
The Twin Clutch SST is a transmission that,
through integrated control of the engine and trans-
mission, is able to achieve both the smooth shifting
of an automatic transmission and the acceleration
and fuel economy close to a manual transmission.
In addition, the control mode can be selected from
two types to suit the driving conditions.
Together with manual shifting, the transmission is
capable of responding to a variety of driving circum-
stances.
