Shift Programs

Shift Programs
Upon encountering the following conditions, the Transmission Control Module (TCM) will automatically use the Normal or Sports shift map to enhance the operation of the vehicle:
1. Traction: When traction intervention is active.
2. Hot mode: Extreme engine/transmission temperatures.
3. Gradient: Under specific speeds and loads.
4. Manual: Driver initiated override of the normal shift map when the LH side of the 'J gate' is used.

Traction
When traction or stability control (engine or brake system derived) is operational the TCM will implement the traction map to maximize control of wheel slip.

Gradient
The gradient function is intended to enhance vehicle drivability when climbing a gradient or towing. The TCM will implement the function when increased driving resistance is detected, and provides enhanced drivability, additional cooling and/or increased performance as appropriate.
