Downshifts may be automatically
selected to increase engine speed,
which increases the effectiveness of
the exhaust brake. The number of
downshifts selected is determined
by the length of time the brakes are
applied, and the rate the vehicle is
slowing. The system delivers the
correct amount of braking to assist
in vehicle control. The heavier the
vehicle load, the more active the
engine exhaust brake will be. Use of
the exhaust brake will help maintain
vehicle speed when used with
cruise control. See Cruise Control
in the owner manual.
Automatic downshifts will not occur
if the vehicle is in Range Selection
Mode. See Manual Mode in the
owner manual.
The exhaust brake only activates
when the transmission torque
converter is locked. This can vary
based on vehicle speed, gear, and
load. The exhaust brake will be
more active when in Tow/
Haul Mode.
