Abstract
A method for controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle includes: sensing a speed of the vehicle; sensing an acceleration of the vehicle along three spatial axes; determining that the vehicle is in a jump state associated with the vehicle being off a ground surface, the jump state being defined at least in part by the acceleration of the vehicle along the three spatial axes and the speed of the vehicle; and controlling the transmission according to a jump strategy in response to determining that the vehicle is in the jump state. Other methods for controlling an automatic transmission of a vehicle are also contemplated.
