Shift Patterns: Downshifts
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Lincoln Navigator and 2017 Ford Expedition. 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
- Forced or kickdown shifts
