DRIVING
DCT – Helpful Tips While Driving
Follow the helpful guidelines below to enhance your driving experience
with your vehicle.
- When holding your vehicle on a hill or driving slowly up a hill, apply the
brakes rather than trying to hold the vehicle by keeping your foot on
the accelerator pedal.
- Try to avoid spending too much time inching or creeping forward,
especially when moving slowly up an incline. This generates heat in
the transmission quickly.
- When traffic is slowly creeping forward, let a gap form in front of you,
then start to move forward. This will allow the clutch to engage and
minimize the amount of slip.
ANTICIPATING HOW YOUR VEHICLE RESPONDS
The dual clutch transmission is designed to anticipate and select the
next available gear when accelerating or decelerating. In most
instances, this allows for quicker shifts and improved fuel economy
because energy loss is minimized between the engine and the
transmission. If, however, you attempt to accelerate rapidly when your
vehicle is slowing down, (for example, when approaching a red light and
then the light turns green), you may experience a delay because it takes
longer for the transmission to re-select and shift into the proper gear.
What is the Transmission High Temperature Warning Message?
• Under certain driving conditions such as stop-and-go driving or
driving slowly up a hill, the clutches tend to have more slip. This
condition tends to heat up the transmission.
• If the transmission temperature gets too high, a chime will sound and
a warning message will appear in the instrument cluster LCD display.

• If this occurs, stop the vehicle as soon as safely possible and allow the
transmission to cool with the engine running. After the transmission
cools, the vehicle may be driven normally.
What if I'm Driving in Stop-and-Go Traffic?
• Whenever possible, come to a complete stop with your vehicle and
allow a gap to form in front of you. Then accelerate and move forward.
