ECHNICAL GLOSSARY
Global Positioning System
satellite signals supply information on the
geographical position of the vehicle. These
signals are compared with a digital map and
used both to determine the position of the
vehicle and for its route guidance.

the brakes until the accelerator is pressed.
for an upshift at high engine speeds under
hard acceleration, inertia push delivers
greater acceleration. Under normal driving
conditions, outside of inertia push when
maximum performance is not called for, the
engine and transmission speeds are aligned
for a smooth seamless upshift. However, with
inertia push, the clutch holding the next gear
is engaged with greater force and the engine
speed is not allowed to decrease fully,
therefore utilizing the inertia of its internal
rotating masses. This in turn provides a
torque impulse as the gear is engaged aiding
acceleration and maximizing performance.
