PURPOSE:To reduce a gear shifting shock and premature abrasion, by performing a down shift to a second shift step at a first car speed in time of coasting at a third shift step, while performing the down shift to a first shift step at a second car speed in time of braking. CONSTITUTION:When a shift step is in the third one and in time of coasting, a down shift to a second shift step takes place at...

PURPOSE:To prevent overmuch deceleration from occurring, by performing an up-shift to a third shift step at once in time of changing over to coasting even if a down-shift to a second shift step takes place by means of braking. CONSTITUTION:When a shift step is in the third one and in time of braking, a shift-down to a first shift step takes place at a second car speed unless the car speed is highe...

PURPOSE:To secure such acceleration performance as excellent in responsiveness, by forbidding an up-shift to a high-speed step till the specified time elapses after an accelerator pedal is operated, and thereby keeping up a first shift step. CONSTITUTION:After a down-shift to a first shift step is carried out, when an accelerator pedal is operated, kickdown takes place at once, but an up-shift to ...
