Select the control mode from the following two types to suit the driving conditions.
CAUTION Never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “D” (DRIVE) from the “R” (REVERSE) position while thevehicle is in motion, the transmission may be damaged.NOTE
 For information on manual shift gate opera- tion, please refer to “Manual shift” on page 5-77.  When the engine is cold, upshifts occur at a higher vehicle speed than when the engine is warm.This control is performed to quickly warm up the engine. It does not indicate a malfunc- tion. After the vehicle has been driven for awhile, upshifts will occur at the regular engine speeds.
Twin Clutch SST control mode

Tw i n Clutch SST con-trol mode
Characteristic
Normal (Control mode when engine is started)
Control mode for normal driv- ing on local roads, freeways, and the like.Smooth shifting is performed at low engine speeds for eco- nomical driving with good ride quality.
Sport
Control mode for driving on mountain roads, roads with uphill and downhill slopes, and freeways with long down- hill slopes where engine brak- ing is necessary.Compared to “Normal” mode, shifting occurs at higher engine speeds and is quicker. In addition, quick downshift- ing is possible when the accel- erator pedal is depressed for quick acceleration or when the brakes are applied.
NOTE
 When continuously driving on closed circuit tracks or at other locations where the engine is operated at high speeds and under a heavy load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature will have a tendency to rise.In this case, if the temperature rises too high, the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver. If the warning display appears, be sure to refer to “Warning display” on page 5-73 and follow the appropriate measures.  The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be selected both when “D” range operation is selected and when manual shifting is selected.  If you select “Sport” mode while the engine is cold, the transmissi
on may shift up at dif-
ferent speeds compared to that when the engine is warm. This is simply the operation of the controlsystem to warm the engine quickly. It does not indicate a malfunction.  For slippery road surfaces, such as roads with accumulated snow, “Normal” mode is recommended for smooth shifting at low engine speeds.

Shifting can be performed even while the accelerator pedal is depressed. This allows the driver to enjoy sporty driving, such as quick cornering, by nimbly down-shifting to reduce vehicle speed just before entering a curve.
N00540600032
While the vehicle is stopped or being driven,move the gearshift lever from the “D” (DRIVE) position in the main shift gatetoward the driver’s seat to select manual shifting.
Each time the gearshift lever is pulled rear- ward, the transmission shifts up 1 gear. In addition, each time the gearshift lever is pushed forward, the transmission shifts down1 gear.
CAUTION When manually shifting while the vehicle is being driven, select the correct shift position to control the engine speed so that the tachometer indicator does not enter the redzone. Sudden engine braking and rapid accelera- tion can cause the vehicle to skid. Shift down according to road conditions and vehicle speed. If both the left and right sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated at the same time,the transmission may not change gears.NOTE
 Only the forward gears 1 to 6 can be selected. To reverse or park, place the gearshift lever in the “R” (REVERSE) or “P” (PARK) posi-tion.  During manual shifting, downshifting will be performed automatically when the vehicle slows down and the transmission will down- shift to 1st gear before the vehicle stops.
 If the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated repeatedly, the transmission will also shift repeatedly.  In order to ensure driving performance, upshifting may not occur depending on the vehicle speed even if the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are oper-ated. In addition, in order to prevent exces- sive engine speed, the buzzer sounds and downshifting may not occur depending onthe vehicle speed even if the gearshift lever or sportronic steering wheel shifters are operated.  When driving in an aggressive manner involving high engine rpm, sudden accelera-tion and/or deceleration, the Twin Clutch SST could take longer to shift due to higher fluid temperatures.

Operation of the Twin Clutch SST
CAUTION Before selecting a position with the engine running and the vehicle stationary, fullydepress the brake pedal to prevent the vehi- cle from creeping. Do not release the brakes until you are readyto drive away. The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the Twin Clutch SST is engaged. Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move-ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal willaffect braking efficiency, may cause prema- ture wear of brake pads and may cause engine damage. Use the gearshift lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi- tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv-ing shift position { “D” (DRIVE) or manual shifting} or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position.Engine stopping and increased brake pedal and steering effort could lead to an accident.

To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) pushthe accelerator to the floor
if it is safe to do so
in traffic conditions. The Twin Clutch SST will automatically downshift.
N00541600039
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position if the computer deter- mines the current speed
cannot be maintained
once a higher shift position is engaged. For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle while climbing a steep grade, the Twin Clutch SST may not upshift.This is normal, as the
computer is temporarily
preventing shifting. After reaching the top of the hill, normal shift function will resume.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift position. This function assists engine brakingefforts, reducing the need for using the ser- vice brakes.
N00541000033
For short waiting periods, such as at trafficlights, the vehicle can be left in gearshift
 Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can cause sudden acceleration and dam- age the Twin Clutch SST. Also, when you depress the accelerator pedalwhile holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift lever in th
e “D” (DRIVE) position,
the engine revolutions may not rise as highas when performing the same operation with the gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration

NOTE
 In manual shift, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.CAUTION
Uphill/downhill driving

DRIVING UPHILL
CAUTION Do not use the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward in order to drive at low speedsup hills. The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con-ditions.• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperaturewill rise and can cause transmission dam- age.
• If the vehicle is continuously driven at lowspeeds using the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen.After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the transmis- sion protection control will operate.If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and cause an accident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-74.

If there is a malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST or engine electronic control module, the following may occur.  Twin Clutch SST does not shift.  Vehicle cannot move.  Twin Clutch SST acceleration is slow.  Vehicle does not creep.  “Shift shock” is large.  Shifting occurs at higher engine speed.  Response is slow.
If any of these occurs, perform the following procedure. The temperature of Twin
Clutch SST fluid is
high. Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-73 and follow the appropriate measures. There could be a malfunction in the engine electronic control module.
CAUTION Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler- ation may occur if the gearshift lever is in aposition other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Do not keep the vehicle in a stopped position on an uphill slope by depressing the acceler- ator pedal instead of the brake pedal.The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con- ditions.• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperaturewill rise and can cause transmission dam- age.
• If the vehicle is kept in a stopped positionby depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature hasrisen. After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the transmis-sion protection control will operate. If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and cause an accident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-74.
