Shift Pattern Selection Control

The TCM changes its gear shift control pattern automatically between the Base pattern suitable for ordinary economy driving and the Power pattern suitable for climbing uphill or rapid acceleration.

In the Power pattern, the downshift point and upshift point are set higher than those of the Base pattern.
