Kickdown button
If you are at a stand-still, what is the difference between launching the car at full-throttle WITHOUT pushing the button and WITH pushing the button?

If,just to be different,you'd put some thought into this,you will realize that there is no difference in either case.The gearbox can't drop any lower than 1st gear.Kickdown can only function in 2nd gear or higher.

I thought with the kickdown the car shifts at red line and without it it wouldn't?

If the kickdown button is the bubble underneth the peddle then I think I have an answer, abiet wrong though ![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I tried launching by flooring the Lexus and just gentley doing it. The kickdown button doesn't affect first gear at all but when used in unison WITH the power button it lets me take it till about redline.
