As wstar has said, the ASC just adjusts (adapts) the shift points based on how hard you're pushing the car. It's "adaptive" memory is just a few minutes, from what I can tell. Whether or not the car is "new" isn't a factor with respect to ASC. Self-tuning as far as engine parameters (not transmission parameters) are concerned is a different ballgame.

And, contrary to what some others have posted, I'm pretty certain that ASC is disabled when the 7AT is in manual shift mode. The assumption is that the driver is in manual control of the shift points, so the ASC does not get involved.
