MAN KickdownDeactivation

Kickdown deactivation with the MAN TipMatic Efficiency driving program

For the MAN TipMatic Efficiency driving program, the kickdown switch is active as standard. By over-throttling, i.e. depressing the accelerator, the automatic gearbox shifts down one or more gears. This leads to increased fuel consumption. But with MAN KickdownDeactivation the vehicle drives continuously with the comfort-oriented and fuel-saving gearshift strategy of the TipMatic Efficiency driving program.
