If you pullout just enough to get it going to go down a hill it will hold in a lower gear which is better then free wheeling down the hill. Like dave said tap the gas peddle. Just today without knowing it until I looked down at the speedo I was doing 85 mph. My 06 was made for highway driving. I love it

Replying to: davethecarnut (Feb 01, 2009 3:06 pm) I have the same problem. Definitely not a safety engine downhill break. The van will not go into 5Th below 45mph. when coasting it will actively downshift through the gears in level and down hill driving. This problem probably eliminates 2-3mpg of city driving on average. Going to ask about it tomorrow, will let you know.
