• The Dual Clutch Transmission gives
the driving feel of a manual transmis‐
sion, yet provides the ease of a fully
automatic transmission. Unlike a tra‐
ditional automatic transmission, the
gear shifting can be felt (and heard)
on the dual clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically
shifting manual transmission.
- Shift into Drive range and get fully
automatic shifting, similar to a
conventional automatic transmis‐
sion.
• Dual clutch transmission adopts dry-
type dual clutch, which is different
from torque converter of automatic
transmission, and shows better ac‐
celeration performance during driv‐
ing. But, initial launch might be little
bit slower than Automatic Transmis‐
sion.
• The dry-type clutch transfers torque
and provides a direct driving feeling
which may feel different from a con‐
ventional automatic transmission
with a torque converter. This may be
more noticeable when starting from
a stop or low vehicle speed.
• When rapidly accelerating at low ve‐
hicle speed, engine could rev at high
rpm depending on vehicle drive condi‐
tion.
• For smooth launch uphill, press down
the accelerator pedal smoothly de‐
pending on the current conditions.
• If you release your foot from the ac‐
celerator pedal at low vehicle speed,
you may feel strong engine brake,
which is similar to manual transmis‐
sion.
• When driving downhill, you may use
Sports Mode and press the paddle
shifters to downshift to a lower gear
in order to control your speed with‐
out using the brake pedal excessively.
• When you turn the engine on and off,
you may hear clicking sounds as the
system goes through a self test. This
is a normal sound for the Dual Clutch
Transmission.
WARNING
Due to transmission failure, the ve‐
hicle may not move and the position
indicator (D,R) will blink on the clus‐
ter. In this case, have the system

CAUTION
n
Using brakes on a steep grade
To hold the vehicle on a hill use the
foot or parking brake. If the vehicle
is held by applying the accelerator
pedal on a hill, the clutch and trans‐
mission will be overheated resulting
in damage. Then a time, a warning
message "Steep grade! Press brake
pedal" will appear on the LCD win‐
dow and you may feel a some vibra‐
tion.
