Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) characteristics
The technology of the Dual Clutch Transmission is different from a
traditional automatic transmission:
• The DCT can be thought of as an automatically shifting manual
transmission. It gives the driving feel of a manual transmission, yet
provides the ease of a fully automatic transmission.
• When you turn the engine on and off, you may hear clicking sounds as
the system goes through a self test.
This is a normal sound for the DCT.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION &
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT)
• When you stop on a hill, if you remove your foot from the brake pedal,
the vehicle will remain stationary for approximately two seconds to
prevent the vehicle from rolling backwards. If you depress the
accelerator pedal during the two second interval, the vehicle will
accelerate.
If you wait more than two seconds, the vehicle will enter creep mode
and may roll backwards if the hill is steep.
• Engage AUTO HOLD in hilly areas to eliminate vehicle creep or roll
back.Caution• You should always use the foot brake or AUTO HOLD to hold the car
on a hill until you are ready to drive. Using creep mode to hold the car
on a hill may damage the clutch.
• If the clutch becomes overheated by excessive use of the clutch to hold
on a hill, you may notice a shudder feeling and a blinking display on
the instrument cluster. When this occurs, the clutch is disabled until the
clutch cools to normal temperatures. If this occurs, pull over to a safe
location, shift into P (Park) and apply the foot brake for a few minutes.PADDLE SHIFTER
The paddle shifter is available when the shift lever is
in the D (Drive) position or the manual shift mode.
Pull the [+] or [-] paddle shifter once to shift up or
down one gear.
Move the shift lever from manual shift mode back
to D (Drive) to return to automatic shift mode.
