tion. Unexpected and sudden vehicle
movement can occur if these precau
-
tions are not followed.
僅 When using Manual Shift Mode, use
caution when shifting from a higher
gear to a lower gear on slippery roads.
This could cause the tires to slip and
may result in an accident.
僅 To avoid damage to your transmis
-
sion, do not try to accelerate with the
shift lever in R (Reverse) or any for
-
ward gear position with the brake
engaged.
僅 When stopped on a slope, do not hold
the vehicle with accelerator pedal.
Engage the service brake or the park
-
ing brake.
僅 The Dual Clutch Transmission gives
the driving feel of a manual transmis
-
sion, yet provides the ease of a fully
automatic transmission. Unlike a tra
-
ditional automatic transmission, the
gear shifting can be felt (and heard)
on the dual clutch transmission.
- Think of it as an automatically shift
-
ing manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully
automatic shifting, similar to a con
-
ventional automatic transmission.
僅 Dual clutch transmission adopts wet-
type dual clutch, which is different
from torque converter of automatic
transmission, and shows better accel
-
eration performance during driving.
But, initial launch might be little bit
slower than Automatic Transmission.
僅 The wet-type clutch transfers torque
and provides a direct driving feeling
which may feel different from a con
-
ventional automatic transmission with
a torque converter. This may be more
noticeable when starting from a stop
or low vehicle speed.
僅 When rapidly accelerating at low vehi
-
cle speed, engine could rev at high
rpm depending on vehicle drive con
-
dition.
僅 For smooth launch uphill, press down
the accelerator pedal smoothly
depending on the current conditions.
僅 If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
brake, which is similar to manual
transmission.
僅 When driving downhill, you may use
Manual Mode to downshift to a lower
gear in order to control your speed
without using the brake pedal exces
-
sively.
僅 When you turn the engine on and off,
you may hear clicking sounds as the
system goes through a self test. This
is a normal sound for the Dual Clutch
Transmission.
僅 Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).
僅 Do not put the shift lever in N (Neu
-
tral) while driving.
僅 When driving uphill or downhill,
always shift to D (Drive) for driving
forward or shift to R (Reverse) for
driving backwards. Check the gear
position indicated on the cluster
before driving. Driving in the opposite
direction of the selected gear can lead
to a dangerous situation by shutting
off the engine and affecting the brak
-
ing performance.
