Volkswagen Tech Tip. DSG Explained.

DSG stands for Direkt-Schalt Getriebe or Direct-Shift Gearbox. This transmission uses twin electronically controlled clutches in place of the traditional single clutch to shift gears faster than a manual or automatic transmission. DSG Gearboxes don't feature a clutch pedal and are controlled in the same way as a traditional automatic gearbox. 

The usual torque converter is replaced by the two computer controlled clutches, one which operates on the odd numbered gears and one which operates on the even numbered gears. It changes gears simply by dis-engaging one clutch and engaging the other far quicker than an experienced could change gears manually. 

DSG gearboxes gives the driver numerous options when it comes to shifting gears. As well as fully automatic, most DSG gearboxes have the ability to change gears through a tiptronic manual mode, gearshift paddles and sport mode which quickens gear shifts.

                               With This Much Control, We Call It Super. 

Mitsubishi developed S-AWC Technology with the goal of realising "predictable handling" and "high margin of performance" at a very high level. 

Super All Wheel Control incorporates additional torque vectoring technologies to provide more predictive handling by managing the left to right driving and braking forces at an advanced level, for drivers who desire more control, capability and confidence, wherever and whenever they need it. 

This technology also incorporates Active Yaw Control. This advanced system uses real-time data from the steering wheel angle, yaw rate,driving torque,braking pressure and wheel speed to detect excessive rotational force on any given wheel. It applies ABS systems as required to the four wheels to quickly manage wheel speed and maximize traction, providing and enhanced, sporty feel in tight corners and improved safety when braking or accelerating in slippery or snow-covered turns.
