Your vehicle’s transmission uses adaptive shift
controls. Adaptive shift controls continually
compares key shift parameters to pre-programmed
ideal shifts stored in the transmissions computer.
The transmission constantly makes adjustments
to improve vehicle performance according to
how the vehicle is being used, such as with
a heavy load or when temperature changes.
During this adaptive shift controls process,
shifting may feel different as the transmission
determines the best settings.
