Automatic transmission Renault Sandero Stepway
Renault Sandero Stepway is offered with an automatic transmission known as CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).
About the CVT box
A CVT is a type of automatic transmission that uses two variable-diameter pulleys and a metal belt to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. Pulleys control the transmission ratio, eliminating the need for traditional gears.
Advantages of CVT
* Smooth Shifting: The CVT provides smooth shifting without any noticeable shock or lag.
*Better Fuel Economy: CVT can optimize engine gear ratio to achieve maximum fuel economy.
* Improved dynamics: CVT allows the engine to operate at optimal speed, providing better response and acceleration.
Disadvantages of CVT
* Less durability: CVTs tend to have a shorter lifespan than traditional automatic transmissions.
*Higher cost: CVTs are typically more expensive than other types of automatic transmissions.
* Sliding Feeling: CVTs can create a sliding or throttling sensation when accelerating the engine.
Operating modes
The CVT automatic transmission in the Renault Sandero Stepway offers the following operating modes:
* D (Drive): Normal driving mode.
* N (Neutral): Neutral, power transmission to the wheels is disabled.
* R (Reverse): Reverse.
* B (Brake): Enhanced engine braking mode.
Control
The CVT automatic transmission can be operated by a traditional shift lever or steering wheel paddle shifters.
Service
CVTs require regular maintenance, including changing transmission fluid and filters. The maintenance interval depends on the model and operating conditions.
