The gear change is done at the shift point different from the above while any of the following control
functions is working. Bear this in mind when performing inspection.
• Slope Shift Control
When the AT controller makes up-slope judgment, Slope Shift Control (on up-slope) is executed by
changing the gear change point to the high-speed side so as to reduce frequent up-shift and down-
shift operations. When the AT controller makes down-shift judgment, Slope Shift Control (on down-
slope) is executed by changing the gear change point to the low-speed side so as to use engine-
brake function effectively while driving on a down-slope.
• Cruise Shift Control (if equipped with cruise control system)
Cruise Shift Control is executed by selecting appropriate gear according to requirement for
retaining a constant vehicle speed or acceleration so as to reduce frequent up-shift and down-shift
operations while cruising.
