Abstract: A system includes a control module that determines a current gear of a vehicle. An active fuel management (AFM) and shift module determines an upshift vehicle speed threshold and a downshift vehicle speed threshold based in part on the current gear, selectively provides an indication to a driver to perform a vehicle upshift or an indication to the driver to perform a vehicle downshift based on a comparison between a vehicle speed and each of the upshift vehicle speed threshold and a downshift vehicle speed threshold, and selectively provides the indication to the driver to perform the vehicle downshift based on a determination that AFM is not enabled in the current gear and that AFM would be enabled in response to the vehicle downshift.

Abstract: A system for a vehicle includes a rate of change module, a period estimation module, a deceleration fuel cutoff (DFCO) module, and an injection control module. The rate of change module determines a rate of change of an engine speed. While an engine is being fueled, the period estimation module determines an estimated period of a next DFCO event based on the rate of change of the engine speed. The DFCO control module selectively generates a DFCO signal based on the estimated period. The injection control module cuts off fuel to the engine when the DFCO signal is generated.
