What to do? I was on a steep grade and tapped my brake and it downshifted from 3 to 2 and hit 6000 rpm. I still wanted to slow down more but could not hit the brake again as I was high on rpm already ...
You were not correct. Leave it in T/H. Most vehicles I've driven (Chevys) won't downshift to 1st. No matter the vehicle the computers will protect it from over reving. Putting the brakes on further will not cause a downshift to "destroy the engine" rpm. If I'm on a road I know I like to just use manual mode because I know what gear I need to be in for which hill. On a new route, just leave in T/H and apply brakes as necessary.
