Roadside Emergencies
Preparing your vehicle
When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, the
transmission must relearn its shift strategy. As a result, the transmission

will not affect function or durability of the transmission. Over time, the
adaptive learning process will fully update transmission operation.
