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.

notifies the driver of the approximate distance from the 
vehicle to the obstruction using a beep sound.
