Driving your vehicle
✽ ✽
NOTICE
• The EcoShift dual clutch transmission
gives the driving feel of a Manual
Transmission, yet provides the ease of
a fully Automatic Transmission.
Unlike a traditional Automatic
Transmission, the gear shifting can be
felt (and heard) on the EcoShift dual
clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically shift-
ing Manual Transmission.
- Shift into drive range and you get
great shifting feedback and sound,
but no shifting hassle.
• Dry-type clutch transfers driving
torque and also delivers direct driving
feel which feels differently than a
smooth Automatic Transmission with
slip of torque converter. This might be
easily felt especially at launch & low
vehicle speed.
• EcoShift dual clutch transmission
adopts dry-type, may be different than
a vehicle equipped with a conventional
automatic transaxle.
• When rapidly accelerating at low vehi-
cle speed, engine could rev at high rpm
depending on vehicle drive conditions.

• For smooth uphill launch, press down
the accelerator pedal properly depend-
ing on the vehicle drive condition.
• If you release your foot from the accel-
erator pedal at low vehicle speed, you
may feel strong engine braking, which
is similar to manual transmission.
• If you want to slow down while driv-
ing downhill, you may use sport mode
or paddle shift to downshift, and also
use foot brake properly depending on
driving conditions to get enough
deceleration.
• When you turn the ignition on and off,
you may hear clicking sounds as the
transmission solenoids turn on and
off, cycling through a self test. This is
a normal sound for the dual clutch
transmission.
For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to a
forward or reverse gear.
WARNING
• Always check the surrounding
areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a car into D (Drive) or R
(Reverse).
• Before leaving the driver’s seat,
always make sure the shift lever is
in the P (Park) position; then set
the parking brake fully and shut
the engine off. Unexpected and
sudden vehicle movement can
occur if these precautions are not
followed in the order identified.
CAUTION
• To prevent clutch damage, the
clutch is released and the torque
flow is interrupted. If the clutch is
released, apply the foot brake,
shift into Park and wait several
seconds before driving again.
• Ignoring the warnings can lead to
damage to the transmission.
