Torque Demand

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The torque demand downshift occurs (automatically) during part throttle acceleration when the demand for torque is greater than the engine can provide at that gear ratio. If applied, the transaxle will disengage the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) to provide added acceleration.
