Automatic transmission -
adaptive system
The automatic transmission is controlled by an
adaptive control system that constantly
monitors the way in which the transmission
functions. It senses and adapts each gear shift
for optimal performance. The system also
monitors your particular driving style and
adapts gear shifting accordingly.
