Electronic Control System: HIVEC

In addition to the variable shift pattern control, the HIVEC system with neural network is also adopted for the first time in HMC. HIVEC uses information from various inputs and feedback adaptation and selects the best appropriate gear position and shift timing under all possible driving conditions.

This function makes TCM decide optimal gear range under all driving condition. The optimal operation of the manual shift lever by several drivers' and various driving condition is pre-set in the TCM. On the basis of mapping data, TCM decides the driving condition from throttle opening, vehicle speed and brake signal. And then TCM controls the gear position optimally. Optimal gear position is achieved under various driving condition by HIVEC logic.
