Mechanical Lock-Up

Mechanical Lock-up
Mechanical lock-up of the torque converter occurs at various speeds depending on the driving mode (Economy (E), Sport (S), Winter (W) and gear position (D, 3, L) selected. Other factors, in addition to road speed, are transmission temperature and engine load (throttle opening). Lock-up is engaged at +20° C- 30° C oil temperature. Mechanical lock-up is also engaged in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears.
The speeds in the table must be used as guidelines. This is because it is difficult to take exact readings of speed and throttle opening while test driving the car.
