ASC (Adaptive Shift Control)
- When driving on an up/down slope
ASC judges up/down slope according to engine torque data transmitted from the ECM and vehicle speed. Fixing at 4GR, 5GR or 6GR on an up-slope prevents shift hunting and controls the vehicle to gain optimum driving force.
- When driving on a curve
TCM receives the side G sensor signal from the ABS Actuator And Electric Unit (Control Unit). It locks to 4GR, 5GR or 6GR position in moderate cornering or to 3GR position in sharp cornering based on this signal. This prevents any upshift and kickdown during cornering, maintaining smooth vehicle travel.
