Transmission (AMT) operation
The Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT) has five forward speeds and one
reverse speed.
The individual speeds are selected
automatically in the D (Drive) position.
Features of the Automated
Manual Transmission (AMT)
• The Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT) can be thought of as an auto-
matically shifting manual transmis-
sion. It gives the driving feel of a man-
ual transmission.
• When D (Drive) is selected, the trans-
mission will
through the gears similar to a con-
ventional automatic
Unlike a traditional automatic trans-
mission, the gear shifting can some-
times be felt and heard as the actua-
tors engage the clutches and the
gears are selected. When the gear is
shifting, you may sometimes hear
operating noise. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with your
transmission.
• The Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT) adopts a dry-type single
clutch, which is different from the
torque converter of the automatic
transmission. It shows better accel-
eration performance and increased
fuel efficiency whilst driving but initial
launch might be slightly slower than
the automatic transmission.

transmission.
• As a result, gear shifts are sometimes
more noticeable than a conventional
automatic transmission and a light
vibration during launching can be felt
as the transmission speed is matched
with the engine speed. This is a nor-
mal condition of the Automated
Manual Transmission (AMT).
• The dry-type clutch transfers torque
more directly and provides a direct
drive feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic trans-
mission with a torque converter. This
may be more noticeable when
launching the vehicle from a stop or
when travelling at low, stop-and-go
vehicle speeds.
• When rapidly accelerating at a low
vehicle speed, the engine rpm may
increase highly depending on the
vehicle's driving condition.
• For a smooth launch uphill, depress
the accelerator
depending on the current conditions.
• If you release your foot from the
accelerator pedal at low vehicle
speed, you may feel engine braking,
which is similar to manual transmis-
sion.
