    NOTE: The gear change is done at the shift point different from the above while any of the following control functions is working. Bear this in mind when performing inspection.
    • Slope Shift Control

      When TCM makes up-slope judgment, Slope Shift Control (on up-slope) is executed by changing the gear change point to the high-speed side so as to reduce frequent up-shift and down-shift operations.

      When TCM makes down-shift judgment, Slope Shift Control (on down-slope) is executed by changing the gear change point to the low-speed side so as to use engine-brake function effectively while driving on a down-slope.

    • Cruise Shift Control

      Cruise Shift Control is executed by selecting appropriate gear according to requirement for retaining a constant vehicle speed or acceleration so as to reduce frequent up-shift and down-shift operations while cruising.
