Line 1:
'''Multimode Manual Transmission''' ('''MMT''' or '''M/M''', also ''' Multimode Transmission''')<ref>http://www.toyota.co.uk/bv/About_Toyota/glossary/MMT.html</ref> is a type of [[sequential manual transmission]] offered by [[Toyota]]. It uses a traditional manual [[gearbox]] with an electronically controlled [[clutch]]. Multimode Manual Transmission is available in the [[Aygo]], [[Toyota Yaris|Yaris]] and [[Toyota Auris|Auris]] in [[Europe]], and should not be confused with Multimode Automatic Transmission, which is offered in the North American market by Toyota.
==Operation==
Line 8:
* '''N''': N is the neutral gear. It is similar to N in both traditional manual and full automatic.
* '''E''': E is the functional equivalent of D in a full automatic. As the gearbox in a MMT car is a manual gearbox, instead of one with a [[torque converter]] as in a traditional automatic, gear changes are noticeable. The [[accelerator (car)|accelerator]] should be eased off slightly when gear changes to produce a smooth ride.
* '''M-''' : Downshifts a gear in sequential fashion, from M5 (M6 in 6-speed MMT cars) to M1.
Line 38:
* '''L and 2 gear in a full automatic''': The L and 2 gear in automatic can simulated in an MMT car by either using E1/E2 or M1/M2.
* '''Es mode''': Es mode allows more dynamic and sporty driving with faster gear changes, at the expense of greater [[fuel consumption]]. Es mode is available in the [[Toyota Yaris|Yaris]] and [[Toyota Auris|Auris]] (in Europe). Es mode is similar to the S mode in [[Direct-Shift Gearbox]].
