I've noticed a weird behavior:
under normal acceleration (e.g. from a stoplight) the transmission very quickly changes into 4th (at...
Not exact matches
Under normal use the engine stays impressively subdued, but requests for big
acceleration - the sort that would get an automatic kicking down to its lowest available ratio - result in it accelerating to peak revs, resulting in a noise out of keeping with the character of the car.
Under normal conditions 95 % of the power goes to the front wheels but on hard cornering or heavy
acceleration the torque split is 50/50.
«Drivers who have experienced ProPILOT Assist always remark about the difference it makes, not realizing how many
acceleration, steering and braking inputs they make
under normal driving — and how much more enjoyable it is to have ProPILOT Assist help take care of it for them.»
Under SPORT mode it provides proportionally greater assistance for a given pedal movement, resulting in better
acceleration performance compared to
NORMAL mode.
Normal hybrid operation dictates that the more powerful gasoline engine is used upon
acceleration from a stop, or
under heavy
acceleration conditions.
The CVT provides a smooth, uninterrupted power delivery
under relaxed,
normal acceleration, but then simulates gear ratios during hard
acceleration to re-create the feel and sound produced by a car with a traditional automatic.
In this case, the CVT works better than most as it has predetermined shift points
under normal - to - moderately hard
acceleration.
