The 18V ONE+ HP Brushless 4 Mode Impact Driver has four preset driving modes:

Mode	Speed	Torque (Nm)	Application
1	max. 850RPM	100Nm	Light screw driving
2	max. 2000RPM	180Nm	Medium-duty applications
3	max. 2900RPM	300Nm	Heavy-duty applications like driving and removing long fasteners
Auto Assist forward (A)	max. 2900RPM	300 Nm	Forward and reverse directions - for specialty screw driving applications only

In auto-assist in forward direction:

the tool revs slowly to begin with. The slow starting speed increases control when you're setting screws working overhead, or if you're outstretched and in auto assist reverse.

In auto-assist in reverse direction:

The motor starts with 6 pulses and increases to a controlled speed. It's designed to remove screws with damaged heads that are almost impossible to remove by other methods.
