Cruise(r) Control downshift Forum Index: PT Cruiser Discussion: PT Cruiser Technical Discussion:   Kruser Deleted Posted: Jun 5, 2000, 8:26 PM Post #1 of 2 (79 views) Shortcut Cruise(r) Control downshift Can't Post I just returned from the Hot Rod Power Tour from Albuquerque to home (Tucson). I experienced something never before with the cruise control engaged. While going downhill, the transmission downshifted (engine brake?) to maintain the set speed. Other vehicles simply went faster downhill. Why does the PT Cruiser do this?

The Transmission Control module can initiate a downshift on these FWD models with a 41TE Transaxle. The rear wheel drive Dodge trucks don't have this feature, so it is up to you to step on the brake if needed.
