Kick Fast Feature

The AGS system is equipped with four major drive programs:
Extreme Economy
Economy
Sport
Extreme Sport
Based on how fast the accelerator pedal is depressed one of these programs will be selected.

Example:
When accelerating to switch lanes or to pass, a more sport oriented program will be selected based on the vehicle speed and the amount of acceleration. In most instances a two gear downshift will occur. Due to a more sport oriented drive program, the transmission will also remain in a lower gear for an extended period of time, even though the driver has already backed off the throttle.

Software Change:

Eliminated "Extreme Sport" program which addresses the sensation that the transmission "hangs up in gear".

5-4, 4-3, and 3-2 downshift points on full throttle acceleration have been changed to allow for a single gear downshift at higher speeds, making the car feel more responsive. A two gear downshift is still possible if the accelerator pedal is quickly depressed to kick-down.
