To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE) position (when passing another vehicle) pushthe accelerator to the floor if it is safe to do so in traffic conditions. The Twin Clutch SST will automatically downshift.
N00541600042
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position if the computer deter- mines the current speed cannot be maintainedonce 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.
When traveling down steep grades, the com- puter may automatically select a lower shift
Depress the brake pedal with the right foot. Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency. To prevent sudden acceleration, never run the engine at high rpms when shifting from the “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) posi- tion. Operating the accelerator pedal while the other foot is resting on the brake pedal willaffect braking efficiency, may cause prema- ture wear of brake pads and may cause engine damage. Use the gearshift lever in the correct shift position in accordance with driving condi-tions. Never coast downhill backward in the driv- ing shift position {“D” (DRIVE) or manualshifting} or coast forward in the “R” (REVERSE) position. Engine stopping and increased brake pedaland steering effort could lead to an accident. Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed when the vehicle is stationary. This can cause sudden acceleration and dam- age the Twin Clutch SST.Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift lever in the “D” (DRIVE) position, the engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation withthe gearshift lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUTION
Passing acceleration
NOTE
In manual shift, downshifts do not take place when the accelerator is depressed all the wayto the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving
DRIVING UPHILL
CAUTION 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 following con-ditions.• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperaturewill rise and can cause transmission dam- age.• If the vehicle is continuously driven at lowspeeds using the tendency of the vehicle to creep forward, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-information display to alert the driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen.After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the transmis- sion protection control will operate.If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and cause anaccident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-60.

If there is a malfunction in the Twin Clutch SST or engine electronic control module, the following may occur. Twin Clutch SST does not shift. Vehicle cannot move. Twin Clutch SST acceleration is slow. Vehicle does not creep. “Shift shock” is large. Shifting occurs at higher engine speed. Response is slow.
If any of these occurs, perform the following procedure. The temperature of Twin Clutch SST fluid is high. Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-60 and follow the appropriate measures. There could be a malfunction in the engine electronic control module.
Waiting
CAUTION Do not rev the engine unnecessarily while the vehicle is stationary. Unexpected acceler- ation may occur if the gearshift lever is in a position other than “P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL). Do not keep the vehicle in a stopped position on an uphill slope by depressing the acceler-ator pedal instead of the brake pedal. The transmission may be damaged and an accident may occur due to the following con-ditions.
• The Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature will rise and can cause transmission dam- age.• If the vehicle is kept in a stopped positionby depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal, the vehicle will vibrate or the warning display will appear on the information screen in the multi-infor- mation display to alert the driver that theTwin Clutch SST fluid temperature has risen. After that, if the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature rises even higher, the transmis- sion protection control will operate. If this occurs, the vehicle may suddenly reverse as if the gearshift lever was in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position and cause anaccident. If the warning display appears or the transmission protection control operates, refer to “When warning display is showing” on page 5-60.

All-wheel drive vehicles are propelled by engine power distributed constantly andappropriately to all four wheels. Not only does this ensure enhanced handling on dry, paved roads but also permits better traction when driving on slippery, wet orsnow-covered roads and when moving out of mud. These vehicles, however, are not designedfor off-road use, and are unsuitable for driving on bumpy ground that may cause excessive strain.
All-wheel drive vehicles
should be driven only under the same condi-
tions as are suitable for ordinary front-wheel drive vehicles.
N00530800174
Since driving torque can
be applied to all four
wheels, the performance of the vehicle whenoperating in all-wheel drive is greatly affected by the condition of the tires. Pay close attention to the tires. Install specified tires on all wheels. Refer to “Tires and wheels” on page 11-5. Be sure to fit all four tires and wheels of the same size and type. When replacement of any of the tires orwheels is necessary, replace all of them. All tires should be rotated whenever the wear difference between the front and reartires is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a difference in wear between tires. Refer to “Tire rotation” onpage 9-18. Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.

Cruise control is an automatic speed control system that keeps a set speed. It can be acti- vated at speeds from about 25 mph(40 km/h). Cruise control does not work at speeds below about 25 mph (40 km/h).
Used to turn on and off the cruise control. Used to reduce the set speed and to set the desired speed. Used to increase the set speed and to return to the original set speed. Used to deactivate the set speed driving.
WA R N I N G Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is moving. Stopping the engine would makethe steering wheel extremely hard to turn, possibly resulting in an accident.CAUTION Do not leave the steering wheel turned all the way in one direction. This can cause damage to the power steering system.
Cruise control
CAUTION When you do not wish to drive at a set speed, turn off the cruise control for safety. Do not use cruise control when driving con- ditions will not allow you to stay at the samespeed, such as in heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered, wet, slippery, on a steep downhill slope. On vehicles with manual transaxle, do not move the gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral)position while driving at a set speed without depressing the clutch pedal. The engine will run too fast and might be damaged.NOTE
Cruise control may not be able to keep your speed on uphills or downhills. Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill. You may use the accelerator pedal if you want to stay at your set speed. Your speed may increase to more than the set speed on a steep downhill. You have to usethe brake to control your speed. As a result, the set speed driving is deactivated.
