Function
The driver's wish for the maximum vehicle acceleration is met by the kickdown function. The kick-down function is activated starting from a pedal travel at the electronic accelerator of more than approx.90%. Furthermore the driver can detect an increase in pedal effort at the kick-down point. A kick-down simulator (100) is integrated in the electronic accelerator for this purpose.

The kickdown signal is recorded by the accelerator pedal sensor (B37), read in by the ME control unit (N3/10) and passed on to the ETC [EGS] control unit (N15/3). Based on this information the ETC control unit (N15/3) actuates the solenoid valves so that the upshifts and downshifts take place at higher engine speeds in order to achieve maximum performance.
