normkol Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 My 2016 Edge had the paddle shifters, so downshifting was not an issue. I now have a 2024 Titanium that came without paddle shifters. How does one downshift if going down a hill? Is 'S' mode the only option? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabangsta Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Yup, without the paddles, Sport is the only assist. My 2019 doesn't have paddle shifters either, I have bought a wheel with the shifters to swap them in, another user here posted they just installed the wheel and they worked, but it was not a 2024 like yours. 2019 paddle shifters where available with AWD, but 2024 only on ST or with tow package. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 There is some built in automation that will help in addition to sport mode when it senses youâre going downhill with the brakes on. Â I still prefer manual downshifting but itâs manageable without it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wubster100 Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 I have to go into S mode to get engine breaking when going down hill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no - what broke on your engine? đ Â seriously though - Our 22 Nautilus does it in D mode. Â Are you riding the brake? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haz Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 From the 2022 Edge Workshop Manual, with emphasis added...  Sport Mode In S mode the transmission selects the optimum gear for best performance. This gear selection is typically lower than that of drive (D) and the shifts are faster. For vehicles equipped with steering wheel paddle switches (SelectShiftâ˘), selecting sport mode allows the driver to change gears up or down.  S mode provides: Additional slope, engine braking and extends lower gear operation to enhance performance for uphill climbs, hilly terrain or mountainous areas. This can increase engine RPM during engine braking. Additional lower gear operation through the automatic transmission shift strategy. Quicker gear selection and at higher engine speeds. Good luck!   5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
