CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
(CVT)
• While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6 speeds, theContinuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite number of speeds. This allows
it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to optimize performance and fuel economy.
• Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a conventional transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is “shifting.” These
characteristics are perfectly normal and contribute to the CVT's efficiency.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS

• Use recirculation for maximum A/C operation.
• For window defogging, turn the recirculation button off.
