Automatic Transmission Adaptive Learning

This feature is designed to increase durability and provide consistent

shift feel over the life of the vehicle. A new vehicle or transmission may

have firm shifts, soft shifts or both. This operation is considered normal

and will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time,

the adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation.

Additionally, whenever the battery is disconnected or a new battery

installed, the strategy must be relearned.

Note: Do not rock the vehicle if the engine is not at normal operating

temperature or damage to the transmission may occur.

Note: Do not rock the vehicle for more than a minute or damage to the

transmission and tires may occur, or the engine may overheat.

If your vehicle gets stuck in mud or snow, it may be rocked out by

shifting between forward and reverse gears, stopping between shifts in a

steady pattern. Press lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
