2. ADVANCED SIX SPEED FEATURES

1) Characteristics
▶ Early Downshifts with Hard Braking and Skip Shifts
When heavy braking is detected, the transmission downshifts early and skips gears to provide
increased engine braking to provide gear selection for tip-in.
▶ Gear Hold Going Uphill/Downhill
If the accelerator pedal is released when travelling uphill, upshifts are prevented to reduce
busyness on grades. If the accelerator pedal is released when travelling downhill, upshifts are
prevented to enhance engine braking.
▶ Upshift Prevention with Fast-off Accelerator Pedal
Upshifts are prevented when the throttle is backed off very quickly to reduce busyness in sporty
driving.
▶ Drive and Reverse Engagement
A soft engagement feature avoids harsh take up of drive when selecting Drive or Reverse. This
is achieved by limiting engine speed and engine torque which results in a rapid, but progressive
engagement of either Drive or Reverse when moving from the Park or Neutral positions. Drive
and Reverse engagements from either Park or Neutral are performed in less than 2.2 seconds.
There is no drive engagement prevention strategy implemented on the transmission system as
there is sufficient engine strategy to protect the system. However, reverse engagement is
prevented until engine speed is less than 1400 rpm and the accelerator pedal position is less
than 12% and vehicle speed is less than 10 km/h.
▶ Converter Clutch Lock-Up In All Gears
The transmission features converter clutch lock-up in all gears. This feature provides improved
fuel economy and vehicle performance. It also improves transmission cooling efficiency when
towing heavy loads at low speeds, e.g. in city driving or hill terrain.
▶ Converter Clutch Lock-Up In All Gears
The embedded memory module (EMM) is matched to the transmission's valve bodies during
transmission assembly to ensure refined shift quality. The EMM is integrated into the input
speed sensor which is mounted on the valve body in the transmission. The EMM is used to
store data such as valve body calibration data and valve body serial number.
Upon installation, the TCU will download the data from the EMM and utilise this data in the
operation of the transmission.
