Warning
To prevent exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle and heat from
damaging the vehicle, the engine
cover and all fluid fill plugs must
be secured before closing the

engine running.
If the vehicle is left with the engine
running, follow the proper steps to
be sure the vehicle will not move.
See Shifting Into Park 0 168 and
Engine Exhaust 0 170.
Dual Clutch
Transmission
This vehicle is equipped with a dual
clutch transmission that contains an
integrated rear differential. The dual
clutch transmission provides an
extremely connected feel due to the
direct connection between the
engine and gear box. This
arrangement provides very fast shift
times for maximum performance.
Automatic driving mode is selected
by pulling D on the transmission
range selection panel and provides
fully automatic shifting operation
which can be further refined using
driver mode control. Upshifts may
be delayed regardless of mode
selection or ambient temperature
until the engine is warmed up.
Manual operation can also be
selected. See Manual Mode later in
this section.
This transmission is electronically
controlled. The shift switches are on
the center console. The selected
gear position will illuminate red on
the shift switch, while all others will
display in white. The indicator on
the shift switch may flash if the shift
is not immediate or if the gear is not
fully engaged. This may occur in
very cold conditions or when Double
Paddle Declutch is used.
The transmission does not operate
when the vehicle is off.
If the vehicle is in ACC/
ACCESSORY, the transmission can
be shifted into P (Park).
If ENGINE START/STOP is pressed
twice while at a relatively high
speed, the engine will turn off and
the transmission will automatically
