Does the ecu learn driving styles??
Just a quick q. does anyone know if the ecu learns driving styles. I have been driving economically for a few weeks and now the car seems reluctant to move in a hurry. After the Bala return run and a good hamering i swear it was performing much more rapidly. Maybe needs a good thrashing?Corrado Vr6

Not sure about the manual but on recent LRE half day the instructor said the auto will adapt to driving style and I have seen other comments on here that suggest the same. Maybe you'll have to take her out amd give her another lesson

The auto box 'adapts to the driver' This function is also linked to the key.In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

H Muppetlab,
AFAIK the adaptive-style learning is a feature for those with auto. However, I could be wrong.

How many miles (or is it time related) does it take to learn your style? One of the ECU remap companies mentioned 200 miles to learn your driving style and adapt to the new power/torque.

It constantly adapts ...but it doesn't get to know you personally ....if you think of it as a adaptive box that identifies steering angles, yaw and braking sensors to know when it's in a corner ....married with a driver who uses hard acceleration and heavy braking ..it will begin to anticipate the hard acceleration and heavy braking when choosing gear change timing . Then when Mr. Sloth gets in and wafts along and brakes gently... the box can recognise the changes to the original style within a short space of time and apply the changes accordingly.21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Why bother going to that extent when it will change anyway within a short period of time 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

ISTR that it bases it's learning on the last 150 miles of driving....the engine ECU does not learn anything - as mentioned it is the auto-box that adapts to suit any changes in the ECU software (and therefore available power/torque) as a result of a remap.
As DG says, it really isn't worth the hassle of trying to reset it....I've noticed the D3 benefits from a bit of a thrashing the use of moderate acceleration now and again to keep it on it's toes 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

There's no indication of a defined mileage Paul ...all the documentation suggests that it is continuous as in 'on the hoof'

Using these signals, additional transmission control can be obtained. The TCM can calculate when the vehicle is cornering, all wheels are gripping, the driver is braking or if the driver is accelerating. This is the conventional 'Adaptive' transmission control. ASIS uses this system but adds the continuous adaptation of the gear changes to the individual driving style of the driver

Oh so it would not make any difference to my manual then. Maybe i should look at the egr valve or maybe i am getting used to the d3 and need a remap. Oh yes it must be the latter, better start saving Corrado Vr6

I'm sure it was TFC that mentioned 150 miles...you're right though - I don't ever remember seeing it in the documentation anywhere 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

What's that mean?
