The kick-down feature allows maximum ac-

takes priority over the gear programmes
without taking into account the position of the
selector lever (D, S or Tiptronic) and is used
to reach maximum acceleration, using full en-
gine power. Depending on the road speed
and engine speed, the automatic gearbox
shifts down and the vehicle accelerates. It
only shifts up after the maximum engine
speed has been reached.
