NOTE
l
When the engine is cold, upshifts occur at a
higher vehicle speed than when the engine is
warm.
This control is performed to quickly warm
up the engine. It does not indicate a malfunc-
tion. After the vehicle has been driven for a
while, upshifts will occur at the regular en-
gine speeds.
Twin Clutch SST control mode
E00621300146
Select the control mode from the following two
types to suit the driving conditions.
Twin Clutch SST Characteristic
control mode
Control mode for normal
driving on local roads, ex-
NORMAL (Control pressways, and the like.
mode when engine Smooth shifting is per-
is started) formed at low engine
speeds for economical driv-
ing with good ride quality.
Control mode for driving
on mountain roads, roads
with uphill and downhill
slopes, and expressways
with long downhill slopes
where engine braking is nec-
essary.
Compared to "NORMAL"
SPORT mode, shifting occurs at
higher engine speeds and is
quicker.
In addition, quick down-
shifting is possible when
the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed for quick accelera-
tion or when the brakes are
applied.

Starting and driving
NOTE
l
When continuously driving on closed circuit
tracks or at other locations where the engine
is operated at high speeds and under a heavy
load, the Twin Clutch SST fluid temperature
will have a tendency to rise.
In this case, if the temperature rises too high,
the warning display will appear on the in-
formation screen in the multi-information dis-
play to alert the driver.
If the warning display appears, be sure to
refer to "Warning display" on page 4-39
and follow the appropriate measures.
l
The Twin Clutch SST control mode can be se-
lected both when "D" range operation is se-
lected and when manual shifting is selected.
l If you select "SPORT" mode while the en-
gine is cold, the transmission may shift up at
different speeds compared to that when the
engine is warm.
This is simply the operation of the control sys-
tem to warm the engine quickly. It does not
indicate a malfunction.
l For slippery road surfaces, such as roads
with accumulated snow, "NORMAL" mode
is recommended for smooth shifting at low
engine speeds.
