ACTIVE ADAPTIVE SHIFT (AAS) CONTROL

The transmission will automatically adjust how and when it shifts gears  
based on road conditions and your driving style. The transmission may  
stay in a lower gear longer than usual when going up or down hills or  
driving around corners. This feature gives you better control and a more 
connected driving experience.
