Adaptive shift control
The adaptive shift control system automatically
operates when the transmission is in the
&
A
position and selects an appropriate gear de-
pending on the road conditions such as uphill,
downhill or curving roads.
Control on uphill and curving roads:
A low gear is maintained that suits the degree of
the slope or curve to allow smooth driving with a
small number of shifts.
Control on downhill roads:
The adaptive shift control system shifts to a low
gear that suits the degree of the slope, and uses
the engine brake to reduce the number of times
that the foot brake must be used.
Control on winding roads:
A low gear is maintained on continuous curves
that involve repeated acceleration and decelera-
tion, so that smooth acceleration is available
instantly when the accelerator pedal is de-
pressed.
NOTE:
Adaptive shift control may not operate
when the transmission oil temperature is
low immediately after the start of driving
or when it is very hot. If this occurs, switch
to the
&
M
position and downshift if neces-
sary.
&
M
position
Changing to the &
M
position:
To change to the &
M
position from the &
A
position, either move the shift lever to the &
M
side or operate the paddle shifter. The position
indicator indicates the gear position with the
indication of “M”.
If the paddle shifter is used, the first operation
changes from the
&
A
position to the &
M
position,
and the second and later operations change the
gears.
To return to the
&
A
position, move the shift lever
to the
&
M
side again. The position indicator
indicates the gear position with the indication of
“A”.
