Adaptive Learning
This feature is designed to increase
durability and provide consistent shift
feel over the life of the vehicle. A new
vehicle or transmission may have firm
or soft shifts. This operation is
considered normal and will not affect
function or durability of the
transmission. Over time, the adaptive
learning process will fully update
transmission operation. Additionally,
whenever the battery is disconnected
or a new battery installed, the strategy
must be relearned.
