Gearbox characteristics
* Type: CVT continuously variable transmission (CVT)
* Number of gears: “Virtual” 6 gears
*Control type: Hydraulic
CVT Features
* Smooth gear shifting without jerking
* Fuel savings by maintaining optimal engine speed
* Wide range of gear ratios for improved acceleration and fuel economy
* Low-range mode for increased torque when off-road or towing
Switching modes
*D (Drive): Standard mode for everyday driving
* S (Sport): Mode with sportier gear shifting for improved acceleration
* L (Low): Low gear mode for towing or off-road use
* B (Brake): Mode with increased engine braking to assist when driving downhill or decelerating
Service
* Regularly change transmission fluid (CVT) according to manufacturer’s recommendations (usually every 60,000 km)
*Check and adjust CVT belt tension as needed
* Avoiding hard acceleration or towing heavy loads to extend CVT life
Advantages
* Smooth and economical driving
* Off-road and towing capabilities
* Low operating costs
Flaws
*May be less sensitive than traditional automatic transmissions
*May be more expensive to repair than other types of transmissions
