Shift Patterns: Downshifts

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Mustang. 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.
