KICKDOWN MODE – MAXIMUM ACCELERATION WITH DOWNSHIFT (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION)

For maximum acceleration, press the accelerator pedal fully down and hold it in this position. The automatic transmission will downshift to a lower gear to provide increased power. When you reach the desired speed, release the accelerator pedal - the automatic transmission will upshift to a higher gear.
