Shift Patterns: Downshifts

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Under certain conditions the transmission will downshift automatically to a lower gear range (without moving the range selector lever). There are 3 categories of automatic downshifts: coastdown, torque demand and forced or kickdown shifts.
