And you can also see in the info below that the "driver influenced" AGS adaptations (the "trick")...is bogus in that those adaptations ARE NOT STORED in the TCM (see text underlined in the yellow highlight). The "trick" is not really a trick at all but just indicates to the TCM that the driver is aggressive...which would automatically take place by the driver actually driving aggressively. If the driver of the car at each initial start-up has "granny-toe" (very conservative driver)...then the economical or normal adaptive program will automatically be selected again within minutes...regardless of performing "the trick".
