qActive Adaptive Shift (AAS)
Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)
automatically controls the trans axle shift
points to best suit the road conditions and
driver input. This improves driving feel.
If the driver accelerates rapidly, or
accelerates and decelerates rapidly by
operating the acceler ator and brake pedal
for a certain period of time whi le the shift
lever is in the D position, AAS mode
could activate.
When cornering the vehicle, AAS mode
will hold the transaxle in the gear the
vehicle was in before entering the curve,
allowing the vehicle to be accelerated
from the same gear after exiting the curve.
AAS mode will maintain the transaxle in
the optimum gear and the driver may
sense that the transaxle is not shifting,
however this does not indicate an
abnormality.
