Parking System
The parking system for A4CF2 model is the cam type.
The roller type installed to the existing new generation AT needs support to move the roller when operating the parking system. The cam type for A4CF2 model doesn't need the support and the structure is simpler. It only needs the guide to prevent from moving the cam idly.






Operation

Hydraulic Control System
Main Features

The VFS (Variable Force Solenoid) installed in the valve body is applied to transaxle. VFS varies the line pressure from 4.5bar to 10.5bar according to throttle open angle and shift range to improve the fuel consumption and shift ability.
And the reducing valve which is installed in the valve body makes the solenoid control pressure using the reducing pressure instead of the line pressure like the HIVEC transaxle.
The material of spool valve in the valve body is changed from the steel to aluminum to reduce the oil leakage by the thermal expansion between the valve body and spool valve at the high temperature.
The switch valve, the solenoid valve and the fail safe valve are operated to drive the vehicle at the 3rd speed and reverse even through the malfunction of the electronic control parts occur.
