AGS (Adaptive Transmission Control): Notes

The GS 20 adaptive transmission control feature automatically selects suitable shifting programs based on driving style, selected range, monitored signal activity and road/environmental conditions. Advantages to the AGS shift control include:

• Shift points adapted to the driving style.
• Improved safety - no unwanted up shifting while in a tight curve.
• Automatic determination and selection of the winter program for better driveaway traction and reduced shift activity.
• Improved comfort - starting in second gear in stop and go traffic.

The AGS can be divided into two functional groups:

• Driver influenced features.
• Features that react automatically to the driving style and environmental conditions.
