To get the best out of Peugeot 308 it is important to understand how the Auto Adaptive Transmission works;
...for fuel economy,
...or sprinting from 0~100km/hr under 9 seconds.
...for fuel economy,
...or sprinting from 0~100km/hr under 9 seconds.
In a Conventional Auto Transmission, gear ratio changes are made when the specific operation condition of the transmission (accelerator pedal position, engine torque power etc.) are met.
Auto Adaptive Transmission is an extension to the control of changes of gear ratio of an automatic transmission programmed with distinct shifting rules, called variograms, applied according to the multi-variable input from operating conditions of the vehicle.
The Adaptive Transmission ECU studies driving behavior and then adjusts its workings to deliver “suitable” throttle response and “appropriate” shift points. To achieve this feat, there are multivariable inputs or modus operandi to be processed by the ECU. Needless to say, the AL4 transmission on Peugeot 308 relies entirely on sensors and computer controls.
Sensors will tell the ECU when the car’s going uphill, downhill, around a corner and even when the driver gets spirited. The ECU directs gear changes according to event-specific algorithms designed to make those experiences “better.”
Selecting 'S' mode [as i always do when got tired in TipTronic] calls-up a different internal 'map' or program which allows higher engine speeds during acceleration, and delivers more responsive downshifts when braking or/and slowing down.
Tell and Teach the AL4 computer the way u always want - either for better fuel consumption or performance. It's your choice.
The ECU constantly learn to ADAPT. But NEVER try to tell the ECU u want good fuel consumption while flooring the accelerator most of the time.
p/s On Peugeot 308 Auto; double d'clutching, heel n toe, pumping the accelerator techniques are not applicable. Pls unlearn all these. Once the ECU understands ur driving style just floor the accelerator or release it then brake whenever needed, let the ECU take care of everything except watch the direction u r going and steer accordingly..
Enjoy and Celebrate ur life!
