CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION (CVT)
• While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6 speeds,
the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite number of speeds.
This allows it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to optimize performance and fuel
economy.
• Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a conventional
transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is “shifting.” These charac-
teristics are perfectly normal and contribute to the CVT's efficiency.
MANUAL CLIMATE CONTROLS
Air Recirculation
• Use Recirculation for maximum A/C operation.
• For window defogging, turn the Recirculation button off.
• Recirculation is allowed in floor mode and defrost/floor (mix mode) for approxi-
mately five minutes.
Heated Mirrors
• The mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This feature is activated whenever you
turn on the rear window defroster.
