Fuel economy performance


<Requirements>
Smaller, lighter CVTs Downsizing of parts Expansion of gear ratio range

Measures
Adoption of auxiliary transmission Reduction of hydraulic pressure by expanding the area of pulley piston Reduction of churning resistance Addition of heater to raise CVT fluid temp. quickly

Greater demand for better fuel economy at higher driving speeds

Reduction of friction

Addition of cold-start fuel economy mode Start and stop mode

Lockup at lower temp. Idling stop & neutral idle control
