Operation of iMT

When the clutch pedal is depressed and the shift lever is moved to a posi-
●
tion, iMT controls the engine speed to be optimal for changing the shift posi-
tion. However, iMT stops operating before the shift position is changed if the
clutch pedal is not released for a while, and the engine speed cannot be
controlled. To operate iMT again, depress the clutch pedal and operate the
shift lever.
● The engine speed may be increased when the clutch pedal is depressed,
however, this does not indicate a malfunction.

WARNING
■

Limitations of the iMT

iMT is not a system that prevents shift lever operation error or engine over-
revving. Depending on the situation, iMT may not operate normally and the
shift position may not be changed smoothly. Overly relying on iMT may
cause an unexpected accident.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the vehicle
■
● Shift the shift lever to R only when the vehicle is stationary.
● Do not rest your hand on or hold the shift lever any time other than when
shifting.
● In order not to cause the engine to overrev, make sure to only shift gears
sequentially.
● Do not release the clutch pedal suddenly, as doing so may cause damage
to the clutch or transmission.
