Engine Brake Performance is Improved in Addition to Fuel Efficiency and Dynamic Performance

• The automatic transmission controls the amount of continuous slip of lock-up clutch to reduce energy loss caused during shifting
• When an accelerator pedal is released, the optimum downshifting is automatically done according to vehicle weight and road gradient, providing improved engine brake performance
• Neutral control, a function which reduces engine load at idling, decreases fuel injection quantity during idling
• The number of parts is reduced compared with a 4-speed automatic transmission, offering a compact design (compared with conventional AISIN products)
