Driving your vehicle Dual clutch transmission (DCT) (Shift Lever)
To reduce the risk of serious injury
or death:
䳜 ALWAYS check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo
-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
䳜 Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position, then set
the parking brake, and place the
ignition switch in the LOCK/OFF
position. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur if
these precautions are not fol
-
lowed.
䳜 When using Manual Shift Mode,
use caution when shifting from a
higher gear to a lower gear on
slippery roads. This could cause
the tyres to slip and may result in
an accident.
䳜 To avoid damage to your trans
-
mission, do not try to accelerate
with the shift lever in R (Reverse)
or any forward gear position with
the brake engaged.
䳜 When stopped on a slope, do not
hold the vehicle with accelerator
pedal. Engage the service brake or
the parking brake.
䳜 The Dual Clutch Transmission
gives the driving feel of a manual
transmission, yet provides the
ease of a fully automatic trans
-
mission. Unlike a traditional auto
-
matic transmission, the gear
shifting can be felt (and heard) on
the dual clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically
shifting manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get
fully automatic shifting, similar
to a conventional automatic
transmission.
䳜 Dual clutch transmission adopts
wet-type dual clutch, which is dif
-
ferent from torque converter of
automatic transmission, and
shows better acceleration perfor
-
mance during driving. But, initial
launch might be little bit slower
than Automatic Transmission.
䳜 When rapidly accelerating at low
vehicle speed, engine could rev at
high rpm depending on vehicle
drive condition.
䳜 For smooth launch uphill, depress
the accelerator pedal smoothly
depending on the current condi
-
tions.
䳜 If you release the accelerator
pedal at low vehicle speed, you
may feel strong engine brake,
which is similar to manual trans
-
mission.
䳜 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 excessively.
