For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, the engine will stop

and the vehicle power will turn off approximately 1 sec-

ond after the ignition switch is turned to the "LOCK";

The reason for this is that, in the time from when the igni-

tion switch is turned to the "LOCK" position until the

engine stops, the gears inside the Twin Clutch SST disen-

gage so that the engine will start smoothly the next time it

Two clutches installed in the Twin Clutch SST alternately

engage and disengage to achieve smooth shifting.

In addition, the gear on the side with the free clutch is

engaged, therefore, quick shifting is performed.

If the engine was stopped with the gear engaged like this,

it would provide resistance the next time the engine is

started. Therefore, the gear disengages in the approxi-

mately 1-second period until the engine stops.

For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, do not operate the

gearshift lever or the accelerator pedal for approximately

1 second until the engine stops.

For vehicles with Twin Clutch SST, if the temperature

inside the engine compartment is high, the cooling fans

(A) will continue to operate for some time even if the

engine is stopped.

Therefore, the operation sound of the cooling fans may be

heard even after the engine is stopped. This sound is nor-

mal and does not indicate a malfunction.

After operating for a period of time, the cooling fans will

stop automatically.
