I wasn't aware of this feature, but it explains why the transmission always seems to pick the best gear for exiting corners on the twisty mountain roads I've traveled.

Use
of
the
navigation
data

ConnectedShift
uses
the
navigation
data
for
a
forw ard-thinking
shift
strategy
of
the
automatic
transmission.
If,
for
example,
a
sharp
bend
is
det ected,
the
automatic
transmission
shifts
down
earl y
and
the
gear
is
retained
in
the
bend.

The
route
guidance
of
the
navigation
system
does
n ot
need
to
be
activated
for
the
function.
However,
the
detection
of
a
turn
request
leads
to
more
prec ise
control
of
the
system.
Up-to-date
navigation
map
data
also
influences
the
control
accuracy.
