ipped)
This vehicle is equipped with quick gear shifting function� When
quick gear shifting function is activated, the gear position can be
shifted without operating the clutch lever, and the throttle does
not need to be disengaged� The transmission can be upshifted
continuously and uninterrupted�
Quick gear shifting function estimates execution of shifting
operation according to the shift gear shaft position, and sends a
signal to the engine control system to unload the transmission
gears briefly through manipulation of the engine's EFI
programming�
For optimal performance during transmission upshifts, the
throttle should remain open� On transmission downshifts, the
throttle should remain closed�
If the vehicle is not equipped with quick gear shifting function,
or if the function is turned o, gear upshifts and downshifts must
be operated with the clutch lever�
