Is there a way to get real time CVT gear ratio on dash display? like real time tyre pressure or mpg.
It's simple junior high algebra:Wow that is complex.
Yep. That's the whole point of a CVT. It allows the ECM and TCM to select the optimum (i.e. most efficient) combination of throttle opening and engine rpm for any given road speed and power demand.Why don't you let the computer do it's thing?
Curious. The same source you cite specs the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS 225/65R17 (OE on our 2016 Outback) at 729 revs per mile.Wow... those are more than 3% larger than what https://tiresize.com reported for generic tire sizes.
X2. ACC will apply the brakes to limit vehicle speed when descending a long, steep grade. Both my 2015 Legacy and 2016 Outback exhibit this behavior when transiting high mountain passes out west (CO, NM, AZ, UT, WY).I can't say for certain exactly when the cruise uses the brakes but it does at times use the brakes. When the brake lights on the little animated car on the dash display come on the brakes are being used.
That has been my experience, too.On downslope adaptive will use engine braking as much as possible, then will apply brakes if necessary.
ACC is not intended for use in cities. RTFM.ACC is bad in cities ...
With such insight, you really need to start your own car company.As for Subaru Engineers they are not that great.
Why would you want to do that while driving? The Subaru CVT is not "to blame." It's just designed with a standard manual selector (PRND); the paddle shifters are only an added "feature."Also for Ferrari and Lamborghini tap both paddles together it goes to neutral gear Subaru does not(I think CVT is to blame here).
Not likely, assuming the CVT fluid is doing its job. One of the essential functions of the CVT fluid is to prevent any metal-to-metal contact between the chain feet and the cone surfaces ... at interface pressures as high as 145,000 psi. (Source: Subaru tech training materials.)Makes me wonder if the CVT chain could wear a groove on the cones if it sits in one position for so long.
