Downhill Engine Brake Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Jeep Patriot and 2012 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When a downhill condition is detected while the accelerator pedal is released, the engine brake will be increased by downshifting so as to limit acceleration of the vehicle. Also, if uphill is detected, acceleration performance is improved by limiting the shift area on the highest side of the gear ratio.
