Gear shifting, N-D and N-R
|
Shifting, N-D
When the selector lever is moved from N to D, the transmission temporarily selects 3rd gear in order to make the shift as smooth as possible.
This gear-shifting compensation is performed on condition that:
|
1.
|
The brake light switch is activated.
|
|
2.
|
The throttle is closed.
|
|
3.
|
Shifting is carried out from N to D.
|
|
4.
|
The speed of the car is below 5 km/h.
|
|
5.
|
The gear-shifting program selected is NORMAL or SPORT.
|
Shifting, N-D and N-R
When the selector lever is moved to 1, 2, 3 or D from P, R or N, or to R from any other position, the transmission control module sends a signal to the engine control module requesting it to retard the ignition and so reduce the torque of the engine in order to prevent jerky or abrupt shifting.
A condition for this to occur is that the throttle opening is less than 20%%.
