Kickdown function: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Trionic has a pedal position sensor that provides information on the position of the accelerator pedal. When the angle of the pedal exceeds a predetermined value, the Trionic sends the information "KICKDOWN ON" over the bus, value ON/OFF.

The control module uses the signal to control the shifting points so that maximum performance is obtained. The kickdown function is available in all shifting programs.
