Ah! Break In Period And Adaptive Transmission!

jclaib7 · 09-11-2013, 07:22 PM

I'm following the recommended break in period religiously but i'm worried that my car is not adapting to the real me.

Will my car recognize me at all when I start driving it like it's stolen?

This is mostly in jest but how does adaptive transmission really work?

I'm trying to rev it up as much as I can, and yet stay below the 4500rpm limit until 1200 mi.

I believe you can just reset it after the break-in period. There's some procedure that has to do with having the power on, but engine off and holding the gas pedal all the way down to the floor for x amount of time, etc.

Plus it'll just adapt to the NEW you.
