Sentences with phrase «during downshifts when»

Not exact matches

The chief exception is during quick transitions between cruising to mashing the accelerator, when the S350 is sluggish to respond — it's a combination of slow downshifts and waiting for the turbo to spool up again.

Selecting tow mode on the seven - speed automatic transmission changes the shift mapping so the QX can hold gears longer during acceleration and downshift earlier when decelerating.

The transmission had a tendency to get stubborn and refuse to deliver prompt downshifts when demanded, particularly during maneuvers like making an aggressive Michigan left into traffic.

Again going back to our long - termer, it would give the car a good jolt every now and then during downshifts and there is a slightly longer than wanted clutch slipping when taking off from a dead stop.

However, its abilities and rev - happy spirit are fading at times when the six - speed manual becomes glitchy during downshifts - especially from fifth to fourth and from third to second.

In Sport mode its fast - shifting action is invariably pitch - perfect, a willing partner in holding lower gears during cornering and downshifting when you graze the accelerator a little more.

Additionally, this new clutch system reduces the engine braking effect, which allows faster cornering, particularly when downshifting, and also allows the suspension to absorb bumps better during braking.

Tow / Haul mode adopted; Mode is part of a gear - shifting point control system that switches the AI - SHIFT uphill / downhill control and electronic throttle non-linear characteristics to the settings most suitable for towing, in addition to automatically downshifting during acceleration even when the brakes are applied

The Continental comes with a four - speed automatic transmission, which changes gears nearly imperceptibly - except when downshifting from fourth to third during a pass.

An optional AMG Performance exhaust system (fitted on the local car as standard) offers the same exhaust flap and a dedicated tailpipe trim design, but has a more audible note when the throttle is open and during gear shifting, downshifting and during upshifting under full load.

This mode may not be ideal to use when wanting to drive in a sedate manner; nor when road conditions are very slippery, due to ice, snow or torrential rain — because loss of tire traction may be experienced (wheel spin during acceleration, and may also result in road wheel locking during downshifts at high engine rpms under closed throttle).

An even more thrilling feature is the automatic rev - matching function during downshifting: the throttle blips when shifting gears are more pronounced and more striking than ever due to the AMG titanium sports exhaust system.

For example, the heel - toe downshifts work really well when they come together, but it wasn't my strong suit, so I made sure to engage the Active Rev Match (you'll see me click the paddle) during this video that was made of my track sessions:

Current variants of the DSG will still downshift to the lowest possible gear ratio when the kick - down button is activated during full throttle whilst in manual mode.

This prevents the transmission from upshifting during a corner, which could upset the chassis balance and would then require downshifting again at the corner exit when the throttle is applied.

In this respect, the standard - fit seven - speed automatic transmission also has an important role to play: on the one hand by allowing fast multiple downshifts when accelerating, on the other hand by providing a new double - declutching function that is activated during manual downshifts.

This prevents the transmission from upshifting during a corner, which could upset the chassis balance thus requiring downshifting again at the corner exit when the throttle is applied.
