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.
