Driving your vehicle

Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)

䳜 The dual clutch transmission can

be thought of as an automatically

shifting manual transmission. It

gives the driving feel of a manual

transmission, yet provides the

torque more directly and provides

a direct-drive feeling which may

more noticeable when launching

vehicle speeds.

mission.

䳜 When D (Drive) is selected, the

transmission will automatically

shift through the gears similar to

a conventional automatic trans

mission.

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.

vehicle speed, the engine rpm

may increase highly depending on

page 6-23.

R (Reverse)

Use this position to drive the vehicle

backward.

The shift lever must be in P (Park)

before turning the engine off.

CAUTION

Always come to a complete stop

before shifting into or out of R

(Reverse); you may damage the

transmission if you shift into R

(Reverse) while the vehicle is in

motion.

WARNING

䳜 Shifting into P (Park) while the

vehicle is in motion may cause

you to lose control of the vehicle.

䳜 After the vehicle has stopped,

always make sure the shift lever

is in P (Park), apply the parking

brake, and turn the engine off.

䳜 When parking on an incline, block

the wheels to prevent the vehicle

from rolling down.

䳜 For safety, always engage the

parking brake with the shift lever

in the P (Park) position except for

the case of emergency parking.

䳜 Do not use the P (Park) position in

place of the parking brake.

N (Neutral)

The wheels and transmission are

not engaged.

Use N (Neutral) if you need to

restart a stalled engine, or if it is

necessary to stop with the engine

ON. Shift into P (Park) if you need to

leave your vehicle for any reason.

Always depress the brake pedal

when you are shifting from N (Neu

-

tral) to another gear.

WARNING

Do not shift into gear unless your

foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

Shifting into gear when the engine is

running at high speed can cause the

vehicle to move very rapidly.You

may lose control of the vehicle and

cause accidents.
