Cadillac 2007 Escalade EXT Owner's Manual page 133

Your vehicle's transmission uses adaptive shift
controls that compares key shift parameters
to pre-programmed ideal shifts stored in the
transmissions computer. The transmission
constantly makes adjustments to improve vehicle
performance according to how the vehicle is
being used, such as with a heavy load or when
temperature changes. During this adaptive
shift controls process, shifting may feel different as
the transmission determines the best settings.
When temperatures are very cold, the
®
Hydra-Matic 6L80 automatic transmission's gear
shifting may be delayed providing more stable
shifts until the engine warms up. Shifts may
be more noticeable with a cold transmission. This
difference in shifting is normal.
Driver Shift Control (DSC)
Your vehicle has a Driver Shift Control (DSC). The
DSC controls the vehicle's transmission and
vehicle speed while driving down hill or towing a
trailer by allowing you to select a desired range of
gears.
