Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) (if equipped)

Intelligent Manual Transmission use E-Clutch (Electronic Clutch) and SSC (Start Stop Coasting) technology. When the vehicle is in coasting driving, automatically cuts off the engine power in order to reduce fuel consumption.

Using the E-Clutch, the vehicle can cut engine drive off without pressing the clutch pedal by driver. The E-Clutch is controlled by an actuator that assists the driver in changing gear and allows for coasting driving in order to reduce fuel consumption.

Start Stop Coasting (SSC) technology stops the engine when the vehicle is in coasting driving, so that it does not consume any fuel. When SSC is on, the clutch automatically changes from “closed” to “open” and the engine stops.

  • Start Stop Coasting (SSC) is activated when all of the following conditions are true:

    • Vehicle speed: more than 30 Km/h (This speed range varies according to gear)

    • When you do not press the brake pedal and the clutch pedal

    • TCU is normal

    • Coolant temperature is normal

When SSC is off, the engine starts and the clutch automatically changes from “open” to “closed”.

  • Start Stop Coasting (SSC) is deactivated when one of the following conditions is true:

    • Vehicle speed: 15 Km/h (This speed range varies according to gear)

    • When you press the accelerator pedal

    • When you press the brake pedal or the clutch pedal

    • When door or bonnet is opened, or seat belt is released

    • When 12V battery is not charged enough

    • When 48V battery is not charged enough

Caution
  • Start Stop Coasting (SSC) is activated when Drive Mode is ECO.

  • SSC may be deactivated depending on indoor and outdoor temperature conditions.

  • SSC may be deactivated depending on climate control conditions. (defrost, fan speed, etc.)

  • Do not shift without pressing the clutch pedal whilst activating SSC, it leads to damage of transmission.

    Shift the gear all the way after the clutch pedal is fully pressed.
