Starting and driving
CAUTION
l
Sudden engine braking and rapid acceler-
ation can cause the vehicle to skid. Shift
down according to road conditions and ve-
hicle speed.
l
If both the left and right shift paddles are
operated at the same time, the transmis-
sion may not change gears.
NOTE
l
Only the forward gears 1 to 6 can be selected.
To reverse or park, place the gearshift lever
in the "R" (REVERSE) or "P" (PARK) posi-
tion.
l
During manual shifting, downshifting will be
performed automatically when the vehicle
slows down and the transmission will down-
4
st
shift to 1
gear before the vehicle stops.
l
If the gearshift lever or shift paddles are oper-
ated repeatedly, the transmission will also
shift repeatedly.
l
In order to ensure driving performance, up-
shifting may not occur depending on the ve-
hicle speed even if the gearshift lever or shift
paddles are operated. In addition, in order to
prevent excessive engine speed, the buzzer
sounds and downshifting may not occur de-
pending on the vehicle speed even if the gear-
shift lever or shift paddles are operated.
l
When driving in an aggressive manner involv-
ing high engine rpm, sudden acceleration and/
or deceleration, the Twin Clutch SST could
take longer to shift due to higher oil tempera-
tures.

(DRIVE) position from the manual shift
gate, it may automatically select a gear differ-
ent from the gear selected during manual shift-
ing depending on vehicle speed or driving
conditions.
