Dual clutch transmission operation
The dual clutch transmission has 7 forward speeds and one reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected automatically in the D (Drive) position.
To reduce the risk of serious injury or death:
-
ALWAYS check the surrounding 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 position. Unexpected and sudden vehicle movement can occur if these precautions are not followed.
-
When using Manual Shift Mode, use caution when shifting from a higher gear to a lower gear on slippery roads. This could cause the tyres to slip and may result in an accident.
-
To avoid damage to your transmission, do not try to accelerate with the shift lever in R (Reverse) or any forward gear position with the brake engaged.
-
When stopped on a slope, do not hold the vehicle with accelerator pedal. Engage the service brake or the parking brake.
