Let me add, if the cruise did not downshift, there would be complaints...from me for one. As for knocking the lever out of park, if it is in park all the way, this can't happen...unless there is a misadjustment and the dealer should help that. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hey VNV: I agree entirely with f5fstops' comment above. The only trip I've taken in my H3 was to ARK and there were many steep grades...with the cruise engaged, it HAD to downshift on several occasions. If it didn't, we would not have been able to climb the hill at that rate. The downshifting did not detract from the ride at all. Hope this helps.

Cool...Understand now.... I have traveled thru the West Virginia Mountains on several occasions..and know what you mean about the old forced downshifting. I use to encounter it with my 86 Corvette in it's early years before the Supercharger install. The corvette uses a 4 +3 tranny..or7 speed. It use to drop out of 4th High into 4th low climbing those step inclines.

After the supercharger install..the boost came on automatically ..and smooth and you'd just glide up the mountain.

Maybe next years H3 will have a Supercharger Option..
