Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT)
Dual Clutch Transmission
(DCT) (if equipped)
Depress the brake pedal and the
lock release button when shifting.
Press the lock release button when
shifting.
The shift lever can be shifted
freely.
* To move the shift lever from/to P
(Parking) or between R (Reverse) and
D (Drive), you must depress the brake
pedal for the vehicle to stand still.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death:
僅 ALWAYS check the surrounding areas
near your vehicle for people, espe
-
cially children, before shifting a vehi
-
cle into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
僅 Before leaving the driver's seat,
always make sure the shift lever is in
the P (Park) position, then set the
parking brake, and place the ignition
switch or ENGINE START/STOP but
-
ton in the LOCK/OFF position. Unex
-
pected and sudden vehicle movement
can occur if these precautions are not
followed.
僅 Do not use engine braking (shifting
from a high gear to lower gear) rap
-
idly on slippery roads. The vehicle
may slip causing an accident.
Dual Clutch Transmission opera
-
tion
The dual clutch transmission has 7 for
-
ward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected auto
-
matically when the shift button is in the
D (Drive) position.
僅 The dual clutch transmission can be
thought of as an automatically shift
-
ing manual transmission. It gives the
driving feel of a manual transmission,
yet provides the ease of a fully auto
-
matic transmission.
僅 When D (Drive) is selected, the trans
-
mission will automatically shift
through the gears similar to a conven
-
tional automatic transmission. Unlike
a traditional automatic transmission,
the gear shifting can sometimes be
felt and heard as the actuators
engage the clutches and the gears are
selected.
僅 The dual clutch transmission incorpo
-
rates a dry-type dual clutch mecha
-
nism, which allows for better
acceleration performance and
increased fuel efficiency while driving.
But it differs from a conventional
automatic transmission because it
does not incorporate a torque con
-
verter. Instead, the transition from one
gear to the next is managed by clutch
slip, especially at lower speeds.
As a result, shifts are sometimes more
noticeable, and a light vibration can be
felt as the transmission shaft speed is
matched with the engine shaft speed.
