Head of Auto2000 Workshop Lampung, Raden Intan Nurrahman Adi Saputra, said the kickdown technique is one solution for automatic cars to accelerate or require greater torque.
“This automatic transmission shift is regulated by a computer or a mechanism in the transmission itself. So that when we need more power when climbing or climbing overtake vehicles, are not easily detected by computers or the transmission itself, so we use the kickdown technique,” said Nurrahman, to Kompas.com, some time ago.
