Kickdown
Kickdown is activated by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal (position B). The kickdown program
optimises gear selection/throttle for maximum
acceleration which most often leads to down-changing.
Kickdown functions in both the economy and power
programs, but not in manual mode.
Position A = full throttle
Position B = kickdown
