TRANSMISSION


The following two types of newly developed transmissions with light weight and small-size design have been adopted to realize good fuel efficiency.


MANUAL TRANSMISSION


SECTIONAL VIEW


AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION



OUTSIDE VIEW




As automated manual transmission is designed based on 6-speed manual gearbox and driven by electric actuators (motors) via sophisticated twin-drum shift mechanism, it gives our customers "easy to drive as A/T", "fun to drive and high fuel efficiency as M/T".

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM





DRIVING MODE


Shifting the Allshift lever from the s.b. position to the "+" or "-" position enables a driver to upshift or downshift the gears voluntarily and quickly (manual mode). Shifting the Allshift lever from the s.b. position to "A" activates the auto mode which enables the driver to run as A/T (automatic shift control).

Function
Further explanation
"N"
In "N"
Neutral
Engine start possible only at "N".
"R"
"N" → "R"
Reverse drive
Creeping.
s.b. (stand by)
"N" → s.b.
Forward drive
Creeping starts (with brake pedal depress).
Auto mode or Manual mode
Starts from auto mode. <135950>
Starts from manual mode. <135930>
"A"
s.b. → "A" (tip)
Mode change
Auto mode or Manual mode comes alternatively.
(Auto mode → Manual mode → Auto mode → Manual mode)
"+", "-"
s.b. → "+" (tip)
s.b. → "-" (tip)
+: Manual up shifting
Lower gear will be selected. *1, *2
-: Manual down shifting
Higher gear will be selected. *1, *3
*1: After "+" or "-" tip action, mode becomes manual mode.
*2: If vehicle speed is too low, some up shifts neglected.
*3: If engine speed is too high, down shifting neglected.
