adaptive


Explanation:
I can see two possibilities:
1: The computer gains experience by trial and error and adapts to the "learned" parameters. In this case I would use "the computer is adaptive and adjusts the gear shift to the driving conditions"
2: The computer works in a similar mode like robots in their "teaching mode", where driver motions go into the memory of the computer and can be retrieved in adaption to the driving conditions.

I understand the function here in the first sense

Explanation:
I would think that "lernfähig" should be translated as "intelligent" i.e. this is an intelligent computer, etc.

Transmission electronics

The electronic transmission control considers vehicle and engine data as well as variable data on road speed, accelerator position and acceleration. Based on these data the ZF-Ecotronic computes the control commands for engine and transmission for optimum use of the engine potential at all times. Moreover, it is self-learning and adapts its shift management to the driver's style.

...if the reference is to how different people drive (> 26,000 Google hits for \"driving style\").

For \"shift pattern\":

\"For vehicles with the automatic transmission, the installation of a Diablosport chip will give you a firmer, more responsive SHIFT PATTERN. Most customer complaints are about the \"sluggish\" factory shift points. The DiabloChip gives your vehicle a progressively firmer SHIFT PATTERN. While you\'re driving around town, you\'ll still receive the comfortable SHIFT PATTERN but when your vehicle demands performance during hard acceleration, the chip will give you a firmer SHIFT PATTERN.
