Continuously Variable Transaxle (CVT)
The Continuously Variable Transaxle 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 driveratio between engine and drive wheels for all operating conditions.
As traditional automatic transmissions shift up or down in gears, the
shifting in gear ratios are noticeable by increasing and decreasingengine 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 up to vehicle operating speed is smooth and continuous, uninterrupted by gear shifting.The same holds true for coasting down 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 more information, please consult your Owner’s Guide.
