transmission will automatically shift
through the gears similar to a con-
ventional automatic transmission.
Unlike a traditional automatic trans-
mission, the gear shifting can
sometimes be felt and heard as the
actuators engage the clutches and
the gears are selected. When the
gear is shifting, you may sometimes
hear operating noise. This is nor-
mal and does not indicate a prob-
lem with your transmission.
