Starting and driving
"D" DRIVE
This position is for normal driving. The transmis-
sion automatically selects a suitable gear ratio for
your speed and acceleration.
Engine braking is automatically applied when nec-
essary, depending on road conditions.
CAUTION
l
Never shift into the "D" (DRIVE) posi-
tion from the "R" (REVERSE) position
while the vehicle is in motion to avoid
transmission damage.
NOTE
l
When the engine is cold, upshifts occur at a
higher vehicle speed than when the engine is
4
warm.
This control is performed to quickly warm
up the engine.
It does not indicate a malfunction. After the
vehicle has been driven for a while, upshifts
will occur at the regular engine speeds.

quicker. In addition, quick
downshifting is possible
when the accelerator pedal
is depressed for quick accel-
eration or when the brakes
are applied.

NOTE
Characteristic
l
When continuously driving on closed circuit
tracks or at other locations where the engine
is operated at high speeds and under a heavy
load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature
will have a tendency to rise.
In this case, if the temperature rises too high,
the
warning display will appear on the in-
formation screen in the multi-information dis-
play to alert the driver.
If the
warning display appears, be sure to
refer to "Warning display" on page 4-44
and follow the appropriate measures.
l
The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be se-
lected both when "D" range operation is se-
lected and when manual shifting is selected.
l
If you select "SPORT" mode while the en-
gine is cold, the transmission may shift up at
different speeds compared to that when the
engine is warm.
This is simply the operation of the control sys-
tem to warm the engine quickly. It does not
indicate a malfunction.
l
For slippery road surfaces, such as roads
with accumulated snow, "Normal" mode is
recommended for smooth shifting at low en-
gine speeds.
