How to Use Mazda's 'Kickdown Switch'?
1 Answers
Mazda's 'Kickdown Switch' is triggered by pressing the accelerator pedal beyond its normal limit to activate Kickdown. Here are some key points about the Kickdown Switch: 1. Risks: Firstly, fuel consumption spikes instantly. Secondly, it causes significant wear and tear on the engine and transmission. However, for regular family cars, if not used daily in this manner, the risks are negligible. 2. Working Principle: When this switch is engaged, the engine's throttle opens fully, rapidly increasing the RPM to the redline. The transmission automatically shifts down to the lowest possible gear for the current speed, allowing the car to operate at maximum power output for the strongest acceleration and maximum driving force.
