•  When above a certain vehicle speed and the accelerator pedal depressing speed is above the preset value, the driving mode is automatically switched to POWER mode/AAS (active adaptive shift) mode, and shifts the shift point to high speed side.

•  In AAS mode, when the driver releases the accelerator pedal fully and rapidly, the gear position is maintained at the position before accelerator pedal was released. Due to this, re-acceleration and vehicle control performance have been improved. If the accelerator pedal is released slowly, the gears shift up according to the shift pattern.

•  When the ATF temperature is high or low, the mode is automatically switched to each shift pattern: when the ATF temperature is high, the TCC point is shifted to low speed side, and when the ATF temperature is low, 5GR is inhibited.

•  When the selector lever is shifted over from the D to M range position, the M range switch in the selector lever component turns on, sending a manual mode command signal to the TCM which activates the manual mode shift control.
