Shift Patterns: Downshifts

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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