SLIP CONTROL OUTLINE [FN4A-EL]

• When the accelerator pedal is fully released for deceleration, power transfer efficiency has been improved through a slip TCC control on the torque converter set under a specified range of conditions (speed or throttle angle). As a result, fuel economy, emission performance, and ride comfort have been improved.
-
- Slip TCC control gradually lowers engine speed and prolongs the fuel cut period, realizing improved fuel economy and emission performance. (If the accelerator pedal is fully released for deceleration, and TCC control is released under conventional control, engine speed suddenly lowers and fuel cut cannot continue for a longer period of time.)
-
- Distinct from deceleration under conditions of TCC, slip TCC control adjusts the engine braking effect for improved ride comfort.
