Hey xr6007,
The XR's did have it. It has four modes available. Sport, Normal, Economy and Adaptive. It should be set at adaptive from factory. The book details how to change it. Mine is set at Sport. :monkes: :sm_headba

You know if your centre console does have a switch for power and economy, you do not have adaptive shift. Mine has a nice decal saying "Adaptive Shift" at the left front of the Shifter.

I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Mike

PS davway,
The Manual XR's dont have it lol : :the_finge : : :

How do i get the other options up and will these options be highlited in the dash so i know whats what? And do they really make a noticable difference??

Go to www.aufalcon.com
In the articles section is a link to "AU XR auto mode change instructions"

Everything you need is in there.

There are only 3 modes as well
Adaptive shift
performance
econ

Turn the key complely off
Select 1 for performance
2 for econ
3 for adaptive shift
Turn key to acc and wait for the airbag light to go out then shift lever to reverse
Econ light will flash 3 times

When you start it
constant econ light means its in econ mode
1 flash means performance mode
no flash is adaptive

Leave it in performace mode. The shift points are way to closed up when its in econ and when you want to overtake and it only goes back one gear its bloody annoying.

Adaptive sh!T oh i mean shift takes 3 yrs to work out what it wants to do
