accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving

DRIVING UPHILL
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position
if the computer determines the current speed cannot be main-
tained once a higher shift position is engaged.
For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle
while climbing a steep grade, the Twin Clutch SST may not
upshift. This is normal, as the computer is temporarily prevent-
ing shifting. After reaching the top of the hill, normal shift
function will resume.
CAUTION
!
● Before selecting a position with the engine running
and the vehicle stationary, fully depress the brake
pedal to prevent the vehicle from creeping.
Do not release the brakes until you are ready to
drive away. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as
the Twin Clutch SST is engaged.
● Depress the brake pedal with the right foot.
Using the left foot could cause driver movement
delay in case of an emergency.
● To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the
engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
● Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot
is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking effi-
ciency, may cause premature wear of brake pads
and may cause engine damage.
● Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed
when the vehicle is stationary.
This can cause sudden acceleration and damage the
Twin Clutch SST.
Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while
holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift
lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revo-
lutions may not rise as high as when performing the
same operation with the gearshift lever in the “N”
(NEUTRAL) position.
