Valve float is an adverse condition which can
occur at high engine speeds when the poppet valves in an internal combustion engine valvetrain do not properly follow the closure phase of the cam lobe profile.
The Sport mode, in which shifts
occur at higher engine speeds, is engaged by moving the lever leftward from D; the Manual mode is engaged when the driver manually chooses a gear by tipping the lever (or shift paddles) forward (for downshifts) or rearward (for upshifts).

The switch - down back from
high to low RPM cams is set to
occur at a lower
engine speed than the switch - up (representing a hysteresis cycle) to avoid a situation in which the
engine is asked to operate continuously
at or around the switch - over point.
Peak power of a traction
engine occurs at a rotational
speed higher than the
speed when torque is maximised and
at or below the maximum rated rotational
speed — Max RPM.
The system also includes a «Sport» mode — activated by a button on the centre console — which engages a more aggressive gear shift strategy as gear changes feel sharper and more forceful,
engine speed matching on downshifts is more aggressive and in full automatic mode, upshifts
occur at higher speeds.
At higher engine speeds, there is an uneven third - order vibration from the crankshaft which
occurs every 144 degrees.
