Shift Pattern Selection Control

The TCM automatically switches the shift pattern between the BASE pattern which is suitable for normal economic driving and the POWER pattern which is suitable for hill climbing and rapid accelerations.

In the POWER pattern, the downshift point and upshift point are set higher than those of the BASE pattern.
