In the "S-Sport" mode,
shifting occurs at higher
engine speeds and is even
quicker than in the "Sport"
S-Sport
mode.
(Super Sport)
"S-Sport" mode is designed
to be used while driving on
closed circuit tracks. Do not
use this mode on public
roads.
NOTE
Damage to your vehicle caused by racing
and/or driving on closed circuit tracks will
not be covered under warranty. Please review
the "WARRANTY AND MAINTENANCE
MANUAL: NEW VEHICLE LIMITED
WARRANTY".
NOTE
When continuously driving on closed circuit
racetracks or at other locations where the
engine is operated at high speeds and under a
heavy load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid tem-
perature will have a tendency to rise.
In this case, if the temperature rises too high,
the
warning 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 5-60 and
follow the appropriate 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 or "S-Sport"
mode while the engine is cold, the transmis-
sion may shift up at different speeds com-
pared 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 accumulated snow, "Normal" mode is
recommended for smooth shifting at low
engine speeds.
