  • Some automatics try to downshift when descending so as to benefit from engine braking. I know Saturn S-series did this, but I am not sure if Camry's ever did. If that IS what is happening though, bear in mind that for a given speed the required throttle positions for different gears is different and the cruise control may take a little time to adjust to the gear-hunting. I have two older cars with cruise and if I manually downshift on a downhill (they lack the sophistication to do so themselves) the cruise goes haywire for approximately 2 seconds as it seeks to maintain speed.
