Automatic transmission
INVECS-II Sports Mode 5A/T
(Intelligent & Innovative Vehicle
Electronic Control System II)
E00603200101
Designed for optimum control and equipped with
adaptive control capabilities, the electronically con-
trolled transmission optimally matches gear shifts
to almost all driving and road conditions.
CAUTION
l This system is strictly intended to provide
supplementary functions. When travel-
ling downhill under certain conditions or
immediately after starting off when the au-
tomatic transmission is cold, no automat-
ic shiftdown may be made. The driver
should shiftdown to a lower gear to use en-
gine braking. Try to drive safely at all time.
NOTE
l During running-in period or immediately af-
ter reconnection of the battery cable, there
may be a case where gear shifts are not made
smoothly. This does not indicate a faulty trans-
mission.
Gear shifts will become smooth after the trans-
mission has been shifted several times by the
electronic control system.
