kickdown การใช้

• It also included an accelerator pedal kickdown switch for faster passing.
• The automatic shifts with satisfactory smoothness and kickdown comes easily.
• In many older designs, kickdown is accomplished by mechanically actuating a valve inside the transmission.
• There is none of that harsh ` kickdown'one gets from most automatic transmission when accelerating.
• Response from the engine is good, but the loud engine noise blaring out during kickdown could be irritating.
• Most automatic transmissions include some means of forcing a downshift ( Throttle kickdown ) into the lowest possible gear ratio if the throttle pedal is fully depressed.
• Only if the battery charge drops below a given level, or under sudden intense throttle application such as kickdown, is the internal combustion engine automatically activated.
• Most of the time in city driving however, kickdown was not neccessary, since in high gear there was still enough acceleration to catch up with traffic in front.
• Top gear ratio is 0.638 ( aimed at achieving better fuel economy ) and since you're not going to get any kickdown at say, above 140km / h, acceleration from then on is boring ( If you can get it above 165km / h, then you've beaten me ).
