Driving your vehicle
Rev Matching operation
Engine speed is automatically syn-
chronized with the next selected
gear. The accelerator pedal does not
have to be depressed to speed up
the engine rpm.
• Clutch depressed with the gear
engaged
At once, engine speed automatically
decreases right after the clutch is
disengaged, but the selected gear is
fixed and then the engine rpm
reverts to the selected gear's target
speed. This operation method gives
more comfortable feeling in public
road driving.
• Upshifting
Engine speed will automatically
decrease and stay at the target
engine speed before the clutch is
engaged.
• Downshifting
Engine speed will automatically
increase and stay at the target
engine speed.
