Kick-Down
When the Kick-Down switch on the accelerator pedal is engaged, the
transmission will optimize vehicle acceleration, which may result in a
downshift. Kick-Down is engaged by pressing the accelerator pedal all the
way down to the floor. The gear selector must be in the D position to engage
Kick-Down. Kick-Down disables when the accelerator pedal is lifted. The
Kick-Down function can be enabled or disabled based on customer
preference. The Kick-Down feature can also be enabled by the Volvo
Performance Bonus software package to reward the driver for saving fuel.
Kick-Down Switch
Operating the vehicle with Kick-Down engaged for extended periods can
result in a loss of fuel economy.
