Default Re: Is '06 HCH Software Adaptive?

Hi Twiggy,

from what I know of modern car design is that all new cars control systems are adaptive in some way. The engine control unit will adapt to the engine, fuel quality, sensors and injectors, to make ignition and injection optimised. The automatic gearbox control will adapt to your driving style, and select gears after a pattern which will depend on how you drive. I would be very surprised if the HCHII does not do this. It seems logical that the charge and assist pattern is adapted in the same way, by the same mechanism.

So in some way the software is adaptive and will adapt to your driving style, but as the others noted, it probably won't adapt to where you live and where you usually drive.

Regards,
Rolf
