Kia Optima: Automatic Transaxle Description and Operation
| Description |
| Automatic Transaxle’s Role |
Both the engine clutch and the motor are mounted within the
automatic transaxle assembly. The engine clutch is used to link the
engine with the transaxle. The motor is used to turn the input of the
transaxle or can be used as a generator. When used as a generator, the
motor can be used for regenerative braking. Whether engine, motor or
both, the driving torque goes through the automatic transaxle to the
wheels.
