Automated Manual
Transmission (AMT) operation
The Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT) has five forward speeds and
one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically in the D (Drive) posi-
tion.
Features of the Automated
Manual Transmission (AMT)
• The
Automated
Manual
Transmission (AMT) can be
thought of as an automatically
shifting manual transmission. It
gives the driving feel of a manual
transmission.
• When D (Drive) is selected, the
transmission will automatically
shift through the gears similar to a
conventional automatic transmis-
sion. 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. When the
gear is shifting, you may some-
times hear operating noise. This is
normal and does not indicate a
problem with your transmission.
• The
Automated
Manual
Transmission (AMT) adopts a dry-
type single clutch, which is differ-
ent from the torque converter of
the automatic transmission. It
shows better acceleration perfor-
mance and increased fuel efficien-
cy while driving but initial launch
might be little bit slower than the
automatic transmission.
• As a result, gear shifts are some
-
times more noticeable than a con-
ventional automatic transmission
and a light vibration during launch-
ing can be felt as the transmission
speed is matched with the engine
speed. This is a normal condition
of
the
Automated
Manual
Transmission (AMT).
• The dry-type clutch transfers
torque more directly and provides
a direct drive feeling which may
feel different from a conventional
automatic transmission with a
torque converter. This may be
more noticeable when launching
the vehicle from a stop or when
traveling at low, stop-and-go vehi-
cle speeds.
• When rapidly accelerating at a low
vehicle speed, the engine rpm may
increase highly depending on the
vehicle’s driving condition.
• For a smooth launch uphill,
depress the accelerator pedal
smoothly depending on the current
conditions.
• If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel engine brak-
ing, which is similar to manual
transmission.
