Driving your vehicle
 The dual clutch transmission
adopts a dry-type dual clutch,
which is different from the torque
converter of the automatic trans-
mission. It shows better accelera-
tion performance and increased
fuel efficiency while driving but ini-
tial launch might be little bit slower
than the automatic transmission.
As a result, gear shifts are some-
times more noticeable than a con-
ventional automatic transmission
and a light vibration during launch-
ing can be felt as the transmission
speed is matched with the engine
speed. This is a normal condition of
the dual clutch transmission.
 The dry-type clutch transfers
torque more directly and provides
a direct-drive feeling which may
feel different from a conventional
automatic transmission with a
torque converter. This may be
more noticeable when launching
the vehicle from a stop or when
traveling at low, stop-and-go vehi-
cle speeds.
 When rapidly accelerating at a low
vehicle speed, the engine rpm may
increase highly depending on the
vehicle's driving condition. For a smooth uphill launch,
depress the accelerator pedal
smoothly depending on the current
conditions.
 If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel strong engine
braking, which is similar to manual
transmission.
 When driving downhill, you may
use Sports Mode or press the pad-
dle shifters (if equipped) to down-
shift to a lower gear in order to con-
trol your speed without using the
brake pedal excessively.
 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
dual clutch transmission.
 During the first 1000 miles, you
may feel that the vehicle may not
be smooth when accelerating at
low speed. During this break-in
period, the shift quality and per-
formance of your new vehicle is
continuously optimized.To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, especially children,
before  shifting a vehicle into
D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in the P (Park)
position, then  set the parking
brake, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
Do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a high-
er gear to a lower gear) on
slippery roads. This could
cause the tires to slip and may
result in an accident.
WARNING   

5-36
Driving your vehicle
Information
• Only the seven forward gears can be
selected in Manual Shift Mode. To
reverse or park the vehicle, move
the shift lever to the R (Reverse) or
P (Park) position as required.
• Downshifts are made automatically
when the vehicle slows down. When
the vehicle stops, 1
stgear is automat-
ically selected.
• When the engine rpm approaches
the red zone the transmission will
upshift automatically.
• If the driver presses the lever to 
+ (Up) or - (Down) position, the
transmission may not make the
requested gear change if the next
gear is outside of the allowable
engine rpm range. The driver must
execute upshifts in accordance with
road conditions, taking care to keep
the engine rpms below the red zone.
DS mode (Drive Sporty) 
 Ds mode supports the perform-
ance mode for the driver. To shift
into Ds mode, move the shift lever
from D (Drive) to the center of the
manual shift mode. The transmis-
sion shift is automatically opti-
mized for sporty feeling drive.
 In Ds mode, while coasting down-
hill, engine braking is not support-
ed.
 In Ds mode, if you control the pad-
dle shifter, the gear will be
changed to sports mode. If the shift
lever is moved back into to D
(Drive), it will be changed to D
(Drive) mode.
While stopping the vehicle by
applying parking brake in D gear,
even if you release the parking
brake, the vehicle may not move.
In this case, you can drive the
vehicle by applying the brake
pedal and release, applying the
accelerator or shifting the lever (D
→ →
N → →
D).
Paddle shifter (if equipped)
The paddle shifter is functional when
the shift lever is in the D (Drive) posi-
tion or the manual shift mode.

Information 
If the [+] and [-] paddle shifters are
pulled at the same time, gear shift may
not occur.
Shift-lock system
For your safety, the dual clutch trans-
mission has a shift-lock system
which prevents shifting the transmis-
sion from P (Park) into R (Reverse)
unless the brake pedal is depressed.
To shift the transmission from P
(Park) into R (Reverse):
1. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
2. Start the engine or place the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
3. Move the shift lever.
Shift-lock release
If the shift lever cannot be moved from
the P (Park) position into R (Reverse)
position with the brake pedal
depressed, continue depressing the
brake, and then do the following:
1. Place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Push the shift-lock release button
(1).
4. Move the shift lever while pushing
the shift-lock release button.
5. Stop pushing the shift-lock release
button.
