The transmission brand used in the Elysee is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional research and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Elysee is equipped with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The automatic manual transmission has eight forward gears. Essentially, an automatic manual transmission is a traditional AT or CVT transmission with added manual shifting functionality. The purpose of this design is to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic transmission vehicles. When using the Elysee's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. Many experienced drivers coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, but for automatic transmission models, coasting in neutral can cause the transmission to overheat and may result in a noticeable jolt when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving to demonstrate "smooth" operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and may lead to gear grinding or other malfunctions over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. When facing steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift prematurely, leading to insufficient climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck and move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in N (Neutral) mode. Avoid using a tow rope or dragging the vehicle directly.
