Adaptive Features (AGS): Notes
AGS features were introduced in 1994 with the A5S560Z transmission. AGS control consists of adaptive features that will modify transmission operation according to various factors. AGS operation can be influenced by two major functional groups:
- Driver influenced features (influenced by throttle and kickdown input)
- Environmental influences (such as road conditions - icy, traffic etc.)
--EGS-- CONDITIONS THAT INFLUENCE SHIFT PROGRAM
--AGS-- ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS THAT INFLUENCE SHIFT PROGRAM
The driving program selection is not adapted on a long term basis - nor is it stored in the control module memory when the ignition is switched off. It continually changes as the driver of the vehicle changes driving habits.
