BLIPPING

Auto- Blipping Auto- Blipping removes the need for the conven-

tional “ heel and toe” technique used to raise rpm with the accelerator
while braking at the same time in an attempt to prevent slip ping and
turbulent motion caused by rapid downshifts when sports driving in

Features

manual transmission model cars. This allows the driver to concen­trate more on braking whic h in turn re sults in a more acc urate and
smoother deceleration. Operation is safe as the Auto-Blipping func­tion does not operate when accelerating without braking or when a
set spee d has not been reached. (Patent pending)

Operating the Auto-Blipping

• Since Auto- Blipping is a useful function for sports driving, please set to OFF in the city.

• If it is slightly accelerated when releasing the clutch pedal, please adjust Auto-Blipping setting values lower

because the values might be too high.

BLIPPING is the action to increase Engine Rotation which decreased by braking. When using blipping to
raise the Engine Rotation, it is possible to fine tune the settings for degree of acceleration, time length
of operation and the speed at which blipping starts.

Adjusting Auto-Blipping

Although amount of increase in engine rot ation on Auto-Blipping is different by car per formance and driving conditions, basically it could
be the most suitable settings that cause less acceleration and deceleration when releasing the clutch pedal in addition to downshift
smoothly.

In operation of Auto-Blipping with 3rd gear and about 3000r pm, basically Engine Rotation will inc rease about 1000rpm.

Degree of Acceleration Monitor

Degree of Acceleration Monitor shows the rate of acceleration output to the ECU where 0 represents the pedal not being pressed in and 100
equals when the pedal is fully pressed down.

Note: Depending on charac teristics of the accelerator or on how the accel­erator is stepped on the dis play may read up to 95%.

Check acceleration during ECO driving

USE

1

To ensure reduced fuel
consumption during accelera­tion the degree of acceleration
should be between 15% and
25%. To further improve results
use ECO Mode when wishing
to save fuel.

Check acceleration during regular driving

USE

2

Please use to check the degree of acceleration for any type of
driving, not just ECO Mode.

All settings are saved even after the ignition has been turned to the OFF position. However, if the ignition is
turned OFF in 5 seconds or less after the last setting operation was carried out, the settings will not be saved.
