roads with uphill and downhill slopes, and
freeways with long downhill slopes where
engine braking is necessary.

Characteristic
NOTE
When continuously driving on closed circuit tracks or at
other locations where the engine is operated at high
speeds and under a heavy load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid
temperature will have a tendency to rise.
In this case, if the temperature rises too high, the
ing display will appear on the information screen in the
multi-information display to alert the driver.
If the warning display appears, be sure to refer to
"Warning display" on page 3-113 and follow the appropri-
ate measures.
The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be selected both
when "D" range operation is selected and when manual
shifting is selected.
If you select "Sport" mode while the engine is cold, the
transmission may shift up at different speeds compared to
that when the engine is warm.
This is simply the operation of the control system to warm
the engine quickly. It does not indicate a malfunction.
For slippery road surfaces, such as roads with accumu-
lated snow, "Normal" mode is recommended for smooth
shifting at low engine speeds.
