The dual clutch transmission has 7 for
-
ward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected auto
-
matically in the D (Drive) position.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
僅 ALWAYS check the surrounding areas
near your vehicle for people, espe
-
cially children, before shifting a vehi
-
cle into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
僅 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 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 tyres 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.

The dual clutch transmission has seven
forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected auto
-
matically when the shift lever is in the D
(Drive) position.
僅 The dual clutch transmission can be
thought of as an automatically shift
-
ing manual transmission. It gives the
driving feel of a manual transmission,
yet provides the ease of a fully auto
-
matic transmission.
僅 When D (Drive) is selected, the trans
-
mission will automatically shift
through the gears similar to a conven
-
tional automatic transmission. Unlike
a traditional automatic transmission,
the gear shifting can sometimes be
felt and heard as the actuators
engage the clutches and the gears are
selected.
