Twin Clutch SST control modeStarting and driving / Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission) / Twin Clutch SST control mode
Select the control mode from the following two types to suit the driving conditions.
Note
► 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
If the warning display appears,
► 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 while the engine 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 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.
Twin Clutch SST control mode
When the ignition switch is set to the “ON” position, operate the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch (A) to change the control mode.
When the engine is started, the control mode is automatically set to the “NORMAL” mode. Use the following procedures to change the control mode.
To shift from “NORMAL” mode to “SPORT” mode
While the vehicle is stopped or being driven, push the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch forward.
To shift from “SPORT” mode to “NORMAL” mode
While the vehicle is stopped or being driven, push the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch rearward.
Note
► If the Twin Clutch SST control mode switch is continuously pushed after a control
mode has been selected, an erroneous operation prevention function operates and
the control mode is automatically set to the “NORMAL” mode.
If you would like to select a control mode again, return the ignition switch to
the “ACC” or “LOCK” position and restart the engine. Then, push the Twin Clutch
SST control mode switch.
