Adaptive Transmission Control: Kick-Fast

The kick-fast function can change the basic gearshift program depending on the rate of speed that the accelerator pedal is pressed. The accelerator pedal value is compared to a threshold in the control module. As a result, one of two possible functions is selected:

• XE, extreme economy
• E, economy

Moderate movement results in moderate shifts while a quick application of the throttle initiates performance shifts.
