CAUTION
!
Do not rev the engine with the brake pedal pressed
when the vehicle is stationary.
This can cause sudden acceleration and damage the
Twin Clutch SST.
Also, when you depress the accelerator pedal while
holding down the brake pedal with the gearshift
lever in the "D" (DRIVE) position, the engine revo-
lutions may not rise as high as when performing the
same operation with the gearshift lever in the "N"
(NEUTRAL) position.
Passing acceleration
To gain extra acceleration in "D" (DRIVE) position (when
passing another vehicle) push the accelerator to the floor if it is
safe to do so in traffic conditions. The Twin Clutch SST will
automatically downshift.
NOTE
In manual shift, downshifts do not take place when the
accelerator is depressed all the way to the floor.
Uphill/downhill driving
DRIVING UPHILL
The Twin Clutch SST may not upshift to a higher shift position
if the computer determines the current speed cannot be main-
tained once a higher shift position is engaged.
For smoother vehicle performance, if you release the throttle
while climbing a steep grade, the Twin Clutch SST may not
upshift. This is normal, as the computer is temporarily prevent-
ing shifting. After reaching the top of the hill, normal shift
function will resume.
