AGS (Adaptive Transmission Control)

AGS (Adaptive Transmission Control)







The acronym "AGS" comes from the German name, "Adaptiv Getriebestuerung" or Adaptive Gearbox Control when translated.

AGS Systems provide all of the EGS programmed functions described on the previous pages but also provides additional adaptive features.

Adaptive features allow the TCM to automatically select suitable shifting programs based on driving style, monitored signal activity and road/environmental conditions.

Advantages
Advantages of AGS shift control include:
- Shift points adapted to the driving style
- Improved safety - no unwanted up shifting while in a tight curve,
- Automatic determination and selection of the winter program for better driveaway traction and reduced shift activity.
- Improved comfort - Starting in second gear in stop and go traffic.

The AGS can be divided into two functional groups:
1. Driver influenced features
2. Features that react automatically to the driving style and environmental conditions.
