Shift control in active adaptive shift (AAS) mode
•
Shift control is performed according to the shift pattern in AAS mode.
•
When the driver releases the accelerator pedal fully and rapidly, the gear position is maintained at the position
before accelerator pedal was released. Due to this, re-acceleration and vehicle control performance have been
improved. If the accelerator pedal is released slowly, the gears shift up according to the shift pattern.
•
While cornering the vehicle, the gear position is maintained at the position before the vehicle was cornered to
facilitate re-acceleration after the corner. The gears do not shift up if the accelerator pedal is depressed fully
while cornering the vehicle.
Forced cancellation of active adaptive shift (AAS) mode
•
AAS mode is forcibly cancelled under the following conditions:
—
The vehicle speed in the cruise control system is reset.
—
The selector lever is shifted to M range while driving in D range.
Down Slope Mode
•
While the vehicle is being driven on a down slope, the TCM determines that the vehicle is being driven on a
down slope based on the signals and output engine speed from the PCM, and switches the driving mode to the
DOWN SLOPE MODE. Due to this, load to the brake is reduced.
Up Slope Mode
•
When the vehicle is climbing a slope, the TCM determines that the vehicle is being driven on an up slope based
on the signals and output engine speed from the PCM, and switches the driving mode to the UP SLOPE
MODE. Due to this, reduction in traction is prevented.
