The CVT is a fully automatic transmission that electronically
monitors vehicle system inputs/outputs and driver demands to
select the desired drive ratio. Unlike traditional automatic
transmissions, the CVT continually adjusts the optimum overall drive ratio between engine and drive wheels for alloperating conditions.
As traditional automatic transmissions shift up or down in
gears, this shifting in gear ratios is noticeable by increasing anddecreasing engine RPM, which causes a slight energy loss as
the gears change. These gear changes can be felt by the driver.
With the CVT, there is no energy transfer loss from shifting
because there is no gear shifting up or down. Acceleration upto vehicle operating speed is smooth and continuous,uninterrupted by gear shifting. The same holds true for coastingdown to idle, smooth and continuous.
Unlike traditional automatic transmissions, the CVT offers more
responsive performance and increased fuel economy.
The use of fluids other than the recommended fluid could
seriously damage internal transmission components. For moreinformation, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
