Dual clutch transmission operation
The dual clutch transmission has six forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected automatically in the D (Drive) position.

5-16
Driving your vehicle
The dual clutch transmission givesthe driving feel of a manual trans-
mission, yet provides the ease of a
fully automatic transmission. Unlike
a traditional automatic transmis-sion, the gear shifting can some-
times be felt and heard on the dual
clutch transmission, as the actua-tors engage the clutch and thegear is selected.
The dual clutch transmission can be thought of as an automatically
shifting manual transmission.
When D (Drive) is selected, the
transmission will automatically shiftthrough the gears similar to a con-
ventional automatic transmission. The dual clutch transmission incor-
porates a dry-type dual clutch
mechanism, which allows for better
acceleration performance and
increased fuel efficiency while driv-
ing. But it differs from a conven-
tional automatic transmission in
that it does not incorporate a
torque converter. Instead, the tran-
sition from one gear to the next is
managed by clutch slip, especially
at lower speeds. As a result, shifts
are sometimes more noticeable,
and a light vibration can be felt as
the transmission shaft speed ismatched with the engine shaft
speed. This is a normal condition of
the dual clutch transmission.
The dry-type clutch transfers torque more directly and provides
a direct-drive feeling which may
feel different from a conventional
automatic transmission. This may
be more noticeable when launch-
ing the vehicle from a stop or when
traveling at low, stop-and-go vehi-
cle speeds.
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occurif these precautions are not
followed.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle mayslip causing an accident.
