HIGH-PERFORMANCE DRIVING FEATURES
TRANSMISSION FLUID
The Dual Clutch Transmission fluid and filter should be changed when\
indicated by the transmission fluid life system. A Change Transmission Fluid Soon messa\
ge will be dis-played on the Driver Information Center. Fluid and filter change inter\
vals are based on a combination of factors, including temperature and miles driven. Fluid sh\
ould be changed after every 24 hours of track use. Reset the transmission fluid life s\
ystem every time the fluid is changed. The transmission filter also must be changed a\
t the first oil change interval. Two extra liters of transmission fluid is recommended for tr\
ack use.
RUN-FLAT TIRES
The run-flat tires eliminate the need for a spare tire. The tire desig\
n enables safe
function during and after a loss of pressure for some distance at a mode\
rate speed. Driving only a short distance with a loss of pressure increases the chan\
ce that the tire can be repaired. Contact Roadside Assistance for the nearest run-flat \
tire servicing facility.
SUMMER TIRESF
Your vehicle may be equipped with high-performance summer tires, which h\
ave a special tread and compound that are optimized for maximum dry and wet road perfo\
rmance. The special tread and compound of the tires will have decreased performa\
nce in cold climates and on ice and snow.
Winter or all-season tires are recommended for the vehicle if driving at\
temperatures below approximately 40°F (5°C) or on ice- and snow-covered roads\
.
