Electronically Controlled Transmission Operation

Through the use of the solenoid valve SLT, the line pressure is optimized in accordance with the engine torque information, as well as with the internal operating conditions of the torque converter and the transaxle. Accordingly, the line pressure can be controlled minutely to compensate for the engine output, driving conditions, and the ATF temperature, thus allowing smoother shifting and optimizing the workload on the oil pump.

This control minimizes the shifting of gears when the driver operates the accelerator pedal while driving on a winding road with ups and downs, in order to ensure a smooth drive.

The multi mode automatic transmission has an [S]-position beside the [D]-position. By moving the selector lever to the "S" side, you can select the shift range in the same method as manual shifting.
