The CX60 is described by the press as using an automatic clutch to transmit drive from the engine to the 8-speed gearbox. This is unusual - most auto boxes of this type are driven through a hydraulic torque converter.
Is any guidance available on my following questions about the above:-
1. If the car is stopped in D (Drive) without the handbrake applied, does it creep (on a level road) like a car fitted with a torque converter?
2. An automatic multiplate clutch does not tolerate slipping as a hydraulic torque converter does, and cannot multiply the engine torque ,so is the bottom gear ratio low enough to start the car, with a large load/towing a caravan, easily on a steep (up) hill without overheating/overstressing the clutch?
One of "Diesel Car"' magazine's journalists magazine states in the September 2023 issue, in the "Our Cars" reviews, that the CX60 has two cargo security nets: one to fit between the top of the rear seat backrest and the cant rails (just above the top of the window) PLUS a second net which is fitted from the floor to the roof. Two questions arise here:-
1. Is this correct? (I have looked at the handbook on line. It shows only a divider to fit above the top of the rear seat backrest. I have checked the accessories list, which does not seem to list a full-height divider)
2. If there is also a full-height divider, does the top of this fit into a second pair of fixing points in the cant rails which are forward of the point for the short divider? If not, where does it fit?
I'd very much appreciate guidance on the above. Thanks in anticipation!
