Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A control system for controlling a vehicle with an automatic transmission and an electric supercharger, the system configured to receive signals indicative of an operational parameter of the supercharger 21, determine whether a threshold value has been met based on the received signal, and downshift the automatic transmission if the threshold value has been met 23. Preferably, the operational parameters include the temperature, power output, or operational time of the supercharger, or the state of charge of a battery supplying power to the supercharger. The system may downshift the transmission only when a predetermined demand for engine power has been exceeded 24. The threshold value could be based on a predetermined value at which the supercharger de-rates of shuts-off. An electronic processor and memory device may be used to execute the system. A related method is also provided.
