Adaptive Gearshift Control

When driving on steep gradients, the changed acceleration capacity of the vehicle is evaluated by the control unit. For this purpose, the control unit selects (adapts) suitable gearshift programs so the driver does not have to alter his driving style. The changed shifting points are intentional and normal.
