Kickdown function: Notes

Trionic has a pedal sensor that provides information on the position of the accelerator pedal. When the angle of the pedal exceeds a determined value, Trionic will send bus information "KICKDOWN ON", unit ON/OFF. TCM uses this information to control the shifting points for maximum performance.

The Kickdown function is available in all shifting programs.
