The shiftable gear can be adjusted by pressing the
"UP (D+)" or "DOWN(D-)" switch when the gear
selector lever is in “M” position.
Shift lock release button
If the selector lever cannot be moved from
“P” or “N” position, try to move the lever
while pushing down this button with finger. For
safety, turn off the engine and depress the
brake pedal before the attempt.

2. FEATURES
1) Advantages
Early Downshift with Hard Braking and Skip Shifts ▶
When heavy braking is detected, the transaxle downshifts early and skips gears to provide increased
engine braking to provide gear selection for tip-in.
Gear Hold going Uphill/Downhill ▶
If the accelerator pedal is released when traveling uphill, upshifts are prevented to reduce busyness on
grades. If the accelerator pedal is released when traveling downhill, upshifts are prevented to enhance
engine braking.
Drive and Reverse Engagement ▶
A soft engagement feature avoids harsh take up of drive when selecting Drive or Reverse. This is
achieved by limiting engine speed and engine torque which results in a rapid, but progressive
engagement of either Drive or Reverse when moving from the Park or Neutral positions. Drive and
Reverse engagements from either Park or Neutral are performed in less than 2.2 seconds. There is no
drive engagement prevention strategy implemented on the transaxle system as there is sufficient engine
strategy to protect the system. However, reverse engagement is prevented until vehicle speed is less
than 7 km/h.

2) Transaxle Cooling
The transaxle cooling system ensures rapid warm-up and constant operating temperature resulting in
reduced fuel consumption and refined shift quality.
It also includes a cooler by-pass within the hydraulic system to allow sufficient lubrication to the transaxle
drivetrain in the event of a blockage in the transaxle cooler.
3) Shift Strategy
Gear Change ▶
Transaxle gear change is controlled by the
TCU. The TCU receives inputs from various
engine and vehicle sensors to select shift
schedules and to control the shift feel and
torque converter clutch (TCC) operation at each
gear change.
Coast down ▶
Coast down down shifts occur at 0% pedal
when the vehicle is coasting down to a stop.
Torque Demand ▶
Torque demand down shifts occur
(automatically) when the driver demand for
torque is greater than the engine can provide at
that gear ratio. If applied, the transaxle will
disengage the TCC to provide added
acceleration.

5. TRANSAXLE ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1) General Information
The transmission control unit (TCU) and its input/output network control the following transmission
operations:
Shift timing
Line pressure
Clutch pressure (shift feel)
Torque converter clutch -
-
-
-
also uses these signals when determining transaxle operating strategy. Using all of these input signals,
the TCU can determine when the time and conditions are right for a shift, or when to apply or release the
torque converter clutch. It will also determine the pressure needed to optimise shift feel.
2) TCU (Transmission Control Unit)
The transaxle control unit (TCU) is mounted
under the driver's seat and controls the operation
of the transaxle.
Internal sensors and signals received across the
CAN bus in analogue and digital forms such as:
Transaxle input speed
Transaxle output speed
Accelerator pedal position
Gear selector position
Engine torque
Engine speed
Transaxle fluid temperature
Brake pedal status
Engine oil temperature
Engine coolant temperature
Ambient air temperature
Barometric pressure -

-
The TCU monitors all TCU inputs and outputs to confirm correct system operation. If a fault occurs the
TCU is able to perform default action and inform the driver of the problem through the instrument cluster
warning lights. Detailed information is available via trouble codes which can be read with the service tool.

6. CAN NETWORK
The TCU sends signals to be used by other vehicle systems via the CAN bus, such as:
Selector lever position
Selected gear state
Manual mode activation
Transaxle fluid temperature

1. OVERVIEW
This vehicle is equipped with WM6F1 M/T (Manual Transmission). This transmission is integrated with an
axle and designed to maximize the driving performance by optimizing the gear ratio according to the
engine torque.
