Automatic transmission
INVECS-III Sports Mode 6CVT
(Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle
Electronic Control System III)*
E00602100086
The
INVECS-III uses optimization and adaptation
functions to optimally match the gear ratio to driv-
ing and road conditions.
The CVT is capable of changing the gear ratio auto-
matically and steplessly to suit driving conditions
in all phases of vehicle operation. It therefore real-
izes smooth, shock-free operation and excellent
fuel efficiency.
CAUTION
l
Automatic
downshifts may not take place
while the CVT fluid is still cool immedi-
ately after you start driving. To cause a
downshift, depress the brake pedal, man-
ually shift down when necessary.
Always strive to drive safely in accord-
ance with road conditions.
