WARNING!(Continued)
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintaina constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you
could lose control. A collision could be the result. Do not use Electronic Speed
Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or
slippery.
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(CVT)
• While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6 speeds, the
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite number of speeds. This
allows it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to optimize performance and fuel
economy.
• Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a conventional transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is “shifting.” These
characteristics are perfectly normal and contribute to the CVT's efficiency.
