Auto Transmission Shift to Neutral While Coasting

The 2004 V70 2.5T geartronic transmission shifts into neutral while coasting after a 10 second or so delay. The car is designed to do this to save engine wear or somehow reduce emissions or somehow operate with more fuel efficiency. This may make a perverse kind of sense to someone, but not to me. Can this parameter be modified by reprogramming something? How do I shut this "feature" down? I'm mainly concerned with long downhill descents.
