Measured in JC08 test cycle (verified by Japans Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism). The fuel consumption rates are values obtained under a specific testing conditions.
The rates vary according to the actual use conditions (weather, traffic, etc.) and driving situations (sudden starting, use of air conditioner, etc.). As of the end of March 2014.
Rates before JC08 test cycle was applied are results of in-house calculation.

Auto Gear Shift

Newly-developed Automated Manual Transmission
(AMT) which equips an electro-hydraulic actuator
that automatically operates clutch and gearshift, on
the new five-speed manual transmission.
Structure of Auto Gear Shift
Integrates the controller with the electrohydraulic actuator unit.

Realizes reduction of wire harness and weight.

transmission
Electro-hydraulic
actuator unit
Features of Auto Gear Shift
Enables easy driving without clutch pedal and

gearshift operation
Automatically operates clutch and gearshift with the
electro-hydraulic actuator
Contributes to low fuel consumption with high

transmission efficiency
Because basic structure of AGS is manual transmission,

thanks to its high transmission efficiency of gears, it
achieves fuel efficiency equivalent to that of manual
transmission
Features of Auto Gear Shift

Realizes smoothness like never before in the
conventional AMT by contriving the controls
By optimally controlling the speed and timing of clutch,

gearshift, and accelerator operation, it realizes smooth
shifting of gears
Easy driving thanks to creep function
Enables easy driving for parking and during traffic

congestion by setting creep function
