Driving with an automatic overdrive transaxle
Your automatic overdrive transaxle
provides fully automatic operation in

transaxle
This vehicle is equipped with an adaptive Transmission Shift Strategy.
Adaptive Shift Strategy offers the optimal transmission operation and
shift quality. When the vehicle's battery has been disconnected for any
type of service or repair, the transmission will need to relearn the normal
shift strategy parameters, much like having to reset your radio stations
when your vehicle battery has been disconnected. The Adaptive
Transmission Strategy allows the transmission to relearn these operating

shifts may occur. After this learning process, normal shift feel and shift
scheduling will resume.
