Adaptive Features (AGS): Notes

1992 BMW M5SECTION Notes

AGS features were introduced in 1994 with the A5S560Z transmission. AGS control consists of adaptive features that will modify transmission operation according to various factors. See Fig 1 . AGS operation can be influenced by two major functional groups:

  • Driver influenced features (influenced by throttle and kickdown input).
  • Environmental influences (such as road conditions - icy, traffic etc.).

The driving program selection is not adapted on a long term basis - nor is it stored in the control module memory when the ignition is switched off. It continually changes as the driver of the vehicle changes driving habits.
