On vehicles with automatic transmis-
sion, the Adaptive Transmission Control
(ATC) uses a number of factors to
calculate the most efficient gear. In this
process, it considers your individual
driving style as well as current driving
conditions.
ATC recognizes your personal driving
style from the positions and movements
of the accelerator pedal, deceleration
when braking, and lateral acceleration
through curves. Based on different shift
characteristics – from comfort-oriented
to performance-oriented – ATC will
select the appropriate gear.

In order to include driving conditions in
its calculations, ATC registers curves
and both uphill and downhill grades.
For example, if you maintain speed
through a curve, the transmission does
not shift up. On uphill grades, it shifts
up only when the engine speed
increases in order to make more effi-
cient use of power reserves. On down-
hill grades, ATC shifts down when the
speed of the vehicle increases and the
driver must apply the brakes.
