NOTE:
•
When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in
place using the brakes
.
On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold
the vehicle in position when the brake pedal is released
.
If the accelerator pedal is not
applied after a short time, the vehicle will roll back
.
Either reapply the brake (to hold
the vehicle) or press the accelerator to climb the hill
.
•
During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a tradi-
tional manual transmission
.
This is a benefit of the Euro Twin Clutch Transmission de-
sign that avoids power loss during up-shifts
.
Instrument Cluster Messages
