Quick shift systemThe quick shift system (QS) allows for
full-throttle, clutch lever-less, electron-
ically-assisted upshifts. When the shift
switch detects motion in the shift pedal
(page 3-26), engine power and drive
torque are momentarily adjusted to al-
low the upshift to occur.TIP The quick shift system operates
when traveling at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h) with an engine speed of
2300 r/min or higher, and only
when accelerating.
It does not operate when the
clutch lever is pulled.
