Driver Influenced Features of AGS
Driver Influenced Features Of AGS
The adaptive drive program is based primarily on throttle input from the DME control module via the CAN bus. The calculated rate of pedal position change influences the selection of the shift points.
Moderate movement causes moderate downshifts while a quick application of the throttle initiates a downshift.
AGS control systems also monitor braking and kickdown request.
Economical driving: Shifter in D. Drive with slow application of throttle. This provides low and comfortable shift points providing high fuel efficiency.
Quick accelerator pedal activity automatically leads the AGS into the intermediate power mode. Based on this input data, the AGS automatically selects a sporty shift strategy.
Sport: Shifter in "D", shift points are higher to take advantage of the full engine performance. The sport program is also immediately activated by a kick down request or excessive braking.
The AGS driving programs are not adapted on a long term basis - nor is it stored in the AGS control module memory when the ignition key is switched off.
The AGS continuously monitors the driving style and adapts to meet the current driver requirements.
