AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

To ensure simple, pleasurable riding, the vehicle is
equipped with automatic transmission. The system is
designed to give the best possible performance in terms of
both acceleration and consumption, on level ground and
uphill to do adjustments to engine speed and transmitted
torque.
If you have to stop on an uphill slope (traffic lights), only use
the brake to keep the vehicle still, leaving the motor running
at idling speed. Using the throttle periodically to keep the
vehicle still can cause the clutch to overheat due to the
friction of the clutch parts on the clutch bell. Following
precautions are recommended to avoid prolonged clutch
slippage leading to clutch overheating:
1. Do not continue riding in such conditions.
2. Let the clutch cool down with the motor at idling speed
for a few minutes.
