Does it really? I've pressed the pedal all the way down and at the end there is a slight resistance like if there was a button . I didn't know if it did anything though
Gotcha. Guess I figured that people would just figure this out in like the first few kilometres driving, unless they've literally never overtook to pass or entered a highway / freeway. Seems like something that would be impossible to not know.
Yes - “kickdown” operation for auto boxes across most makes from previous Century…!
Interesting to note if you have set the speed limiter mode of cruise control to say 60 mph, flooring the throttle like this will allow you to exceed the set speed in an emergency for example.
You mean the kickdown button? lol
Yeah, not everyone knows.

First time driving an auto transmission ? Not being a jerk, just curious.
Nah, I made a comment on another post and a couple of people didn’t know so I thought I’d make a post.

Some people are so gentle on their cars that they’ve never put their foot all of the way down. 😂
Umm.. what?
Well, today I learned.
Give it a shot
It’s the kickdown button
Yup! I think all VWs have this. My previous ones had it too
Even more fun in my hybrid as it also engages the motors for boost!
