Mode Switch; Function And Usage - SSANGYONG Actyon 2012.12 Manual

3. MODE SWITCH

1) Function and Usage

The mode switch is installed next to the Selector Lever as shown in the picture. It has the Standard (S)
and Winter (W) modes.
In spite of the Winter mode being selected, the transmission will use only the 1st gear to start off under
the following condition:
- When the Selector Lever is engaged to the M mode and a tip switch is used to shift down to the 1st
gear
- In case of 4WD-models (inapplicable to 2WD- or AWD-models), when the full throttle is attempted at
25 Km/h or slower speed, the Mode switch sends out a control signal from the Selector Lever unit to
the TCU through hard wires.
·
The S mode is for driving under normal
conditions and uses the 1st gear to start off. It
also ensures more enjoyable driving by
analyzing the driver's driving habits and
changing shifting patterns according to the
habits. (Degree holding on a hilly road:
approximately 11~13. 5% or less)
·
When the W mode is selected, the Winter lamp
comes on the instrument panel. The mode
uses the 2nd gear for the vehicle's smooth
driving off. With the Winter mode, 2WD- and
AWD-models have fast up-shifts and slow
down-shifts to increase gas mileage. When
these models use the full throttle, the Winter
mode automatically switches to the Standard
mode. However, in case of 4WD-models, the
Winter mode will stay on even with the full
throttle.
