On Long Down-hill sections of road the transmission Downshifts

I have had my 2016 4x4 Sport (automatic transmission) for two weeks now. My commute to work has a downhill part that is about a 1 mile decent with an elevation change of about 1,000 feet. On the steep portions the transmission downshifts when I brake and holds that gear revving between 2500-3000 RPM's then only up-shifts when I have slowed down below 35 mph. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal??

 

2nd gens do it too. Its a built in feature. I asked on here the first time it happened.

 

Down hill assist control. It's made to do that. My 2nd gen does it as well. It's just the transmission downshifting automatically after depressing the brake pedal as it detects a decline

 

Yep. Perfectly normal.

Yep. The gf's corolla does this too. I personally can't stand it, since it is very reluctant to shift up again after a descent. And it doesn't rev match, so the down change lurches and just isn't smooth. Just another reason I prefer the 6mt.

 

Thanks... Just a newbie

 

Magnetic Gray is the best

 

and should get less noticeable as miles progress . Adaptive learning takes a while on a new truck . Give it some tìme and it will improve

 

That's right. Mine does much more smoothly now that it's broken in

 

Push into neutral and then back into drive. It will shift back into the highest gear possible. It's the braking action that initiates it

 

Great feature. Asked about it myself a month or so back myself while breaking in blue taco.
