Intelligent Gearbox
I read somewhere that the gearbox in the D4 is monitoring the type of driving you're doing, for example stop start urban traffic, motorway cruising, country roads, etc and adapts gear changes accordingly.
Sounds feasible as I think the D3 does something similar The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the best of everything they have.

They are so intelligent they should have been allowed to vote in the EU referendum. Would have swung the balance.....

Just cleared my adaptions as it was having far too many pro EU lurches.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the gearbox ECU updates every 10 mins and looks at your driving style and changes the shifts accordingly. I could be mistaken, but I am certain I have read it
I hope not, actually .. would be pretty amazing if it can keep up with my variable driving style .. Meaning I'm probably off worse
/off topic What was the EU-vote again(st) for ?
/back on topic Would be nice to know if someone could confirm that, though D4

I am sure its in the D3 handbook about being an adaptive auto.

Very similar to:
Quote:
Whether driving in city traffic or coming out of a curve at speed: Adaptive Transmission Management (ATM) recognises your individual driving style and automatically selects the right gear at the right moment, eliminating unnecessary shifts.
ATM integrates data input from the accelerator pedal and the engine management system. By analysing the timing and manner that the driver applies the accelerator, ATM autonomously learns the driver's style - noting, for example, whether the engine brake is often used, or if a gear is downshifted to accelerate out of curves. This pattern is continuously monitored, so that ATM always adapts to the style of the current driver.
In addition to the driver's individual style, ATM analyses the prevailing driving conditions: driving in winter or in mountainous areas, ATM shifts gears differently to driving in normal conditions. Stop-and-go traffic or winding roads are recognised. This results in fewer and more precise gear shifts, letting you fully focus on the dynamic performance

DG, does it do this by changing the Adaptation Values 'on the fly'?D4 MY14 XXV - RLD/IID BT
D4 MY13 HSE Lux - RLD/IID BT
P38 RR - Sad parting
110 - Even sadder parting
S3 88" - Still going strong after 23 years of ownership
