ELECTRONICALLY-CONTROLLED SYSTEM

INVECS-II

•

When in drive ("D" range), the new automatic transmission 
employs an innovative shift schedule to provide a high level 
of comfort and "easy driving style" that matches all driving 
conditions as well as the driver's driving style.

•

INVECS-II features "Optimum Shift Control", which 
provides shift timing the average driver perceives to be the 
optimum timing under any road conditions, and "Adaptive 
Shift Control", which adjusts shift timing to match the driving 
habits and preferences of individual drivers.

FEATURES

OPTIMUM SHIFT CONTROL

1. The shift patterns found satisfying by the typical driver for all 

ranges of driving are stored in the computer's memory. The 
computer uses this data to analyze road conditions and the 
driver's style of operation, and then outputs the optimal shift 
patterns stored in its memory to best match the conditions.

2. We introduce the latest in control technologies with an 

innovative new algorithm called the "neural network" that 
works to imitate the decision-making processes of the 
human brain. The neural network links a wide variety of 
input data regarding road and operating conditions, and 
instantly makes accurate shift control decisions.

ADAPTIVE SHIFT CONTROL

1. The computer learns the driving habits and 

preferences of each individual driver by 
processing driving data on engine output, tire 
load, foot brake operation, etc. It then uses this 
data to adjust shift timing to best suit the driver's 
style.

2. If the computer determines from the driving 

patterns that the driver is one who enjoys a 
relaxed, unhurried style, it adjusts timing to 
execute up-shifts at a lower engine speed to 
provide a smooth, quiet ride. On the other hand, if 
the computer determines the driver to prefer a 
sporty ride, it adjusts timing to shift up at a higher 
engine speed to provide more powerful response.

3. If the computer determines that the driver tends 

to apply the brakes often on a descending 
roadway, it adjusts timing to shift down sooner so 
that the engine brake is more effectively applied. 
Conversely, if the computer determines that the 
driver does not brake much while driving 
downhill, it delays downshifting to limit the effect 
of the engine brake.
