7. Transmission Controls Innovations
Ford Controls and Software Development Engineers have developed novel control strategies to maximize customer satisfaction with the Powershift transmission:
Neutral Idle – the clutches will disengage when the brakes are applied. This function Increases fuel economy, improves coasting downshifts and improves clutch robustness.
Precise Clutch Control – Micro Slip for NVH Improvements Provides torsional damping through clutch slip. Improves NVH at low engine speeds and enables lower lugging limit for improved fuel economy.
Torque Hole Filling – Provides smooth torque transfer during up shifts through precise coordination of engine torque delivery during the shift.
Tip In/Back Out Logic – All new algorithms developed to provide smooth torque transitions to handle rapid changes of driver pedal input.

8. Transmission Controls Innovations
Slow Speed Driving (Creep) w/ Integrated Brake Pressure – Provides typical creep function that drivers expect out of an automatic transmission (torque as a function of brake pressure). Provides customer comfort and control for low speed/parking lot drivability.
Hill Mode – Launch Assist – Integration of the brake control function with the transmission strategy to provide improved drivability on hills. Brakes will hold brake pressure until the engine delivers enough torque to move the car up the hill. This feature prevents vehicle roll back on a grade. This provides improved driving confidence/comfort/safety while also providing clutch robustness.
Ford Grade Assist – Implementation of Ford Grade Assist algorithm for improved driveability/control on hilly terrain. Driver selectable function through button on shifter.
