CAUTION
l
If the
warning display is shown, such
as when the vehicle does not accelerate
while traveling even if the accelerator ped-
al is depressed, the vehicle may not be
able to be driven normally.
For safety, pay attention to your surround-
ings when driving the vehicle.
Operation of the Twin Clutch SST
E00622000081
CAUTION
l
Before selecting a position with the en-
gine running and the vehicle stationary,
fully depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as
the Twin Clutch SST is engaged, the
brakes should only be released when you
are ready to drive away.
l
Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot at all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
l
To prevent sudden acceleration, never
race the engine when shifting from the
"P" (PARK) or "N" (NEUTRAL) position.
l
Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal
will affect braking efficiency and may
cause premature wear of brake pads.
CAUTION
l
Use the gearshift lever in the correct shift
position in accordance with driving condi-
tions.
Never coast downhill backward with the
gearshift lever in the "D" (DRIVE) or
manual shifting position or coast forward
with the gearshift lever in the "R" (RE-
VERSE) position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected
increase in brake pedal effort and steer-
ing wheel weight could lead to an accident.
l
Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can cause sudden acceleration and
damage the Twin Clutch SST.
Also, when you depress the accelerator
pedal while holding down the brake ped-
al with the gearshift lever in the "D"
(DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions
may not rise as high as when performing
the same operation with the gearshift lev-
er in the "N" (NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
E00622100011
To gain extra acceleration in "D" (DRIVE) posi-
tion, push the accelerator to the floor. The Twin
Clutch SST will automatically downshift.
NOTE
l
In manual shift, downshifts do not take place
when the accelerator is depressed all the way
to the floor.

Starting and driving
Uphill/downhill driving
E00622200067
DRIVING UPHILL
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher
shift position if the computer determines the cur-
rent speed cannot be maintained once a higher shift
position is engaged.
For smoother vehicle performance, if you release
the throttle while climbing a steep grade, the Twin
Clutch SST may not upshift. This is normal, as the
computer is temporarily preventing shifting. After
reaching the top of the hill, normal shift function
will resume.
CAUTION
l
Do not use the tendency of the vehicle to
creep forward in order to drive at low
speeds up hills.
The transmission may be damaged and
an accident may occur due to the follow-
ing conditions.
• The Twin Clutch SST fluid tempera-
ture will rise and can cause transmis-
sion damage.
