Transmission
The transmission is part of the vehicle's driveline
(power transmission) between the engine and
the drive wheels. The function of the transmis-
sion is to change gears depending on speed
and power needs.
The vehicle has an 8-speed automatic transmis-
sion. The number of gears allows the engine's
torque and power band to be effectively utilized.
Two of the gears are overdrive gears that save
fuel when driving at a constant engine speed.
Manual shifting is also possible. The instrument
panel shows the gear currently in use.
CAUTION
Check the operating temperature of the
transmission to help avoid damage to any of
the drive system components. If there is a risk
of overheating, a warning symbol will appear
in the instrument panel and a text message
will be displayed. Follow the recommenda-
tions given.
