There’s a switch on every automatic/dct transmission car below the gas pedal. When you go WOT you can feel the pedal click into it. This will cause the transmission to drop a gear or two which it does to optimize the power delivery when you want to go fast suddenly and you don’t downshift on your own.

Thanks for reply.. XHP says this:

For F-Series - M-Cars
The DCT has 2 modes of full throttle/kickdown clutch engagement at standstill, based on the current state of the DSC (stability control). The standard setting on all F8x M-Cars is as follows:

In DSC ON mode the clutch engages gradually at around 1000 rpm.

In DSC OFF mode it engages at around 2800 rpm. Depending on your setup and available traction, you may want to change the RPM at which the clutch begins to engage in each of the modes. For example, higher traction (sticky track, slicks) means that higher revs are possible/necessary before braking traction. Also, cars with upgraded turbos may benefit from increasing the RPM at which the clutch engages.

These launch modes are NOT related to launch control, which can be set in the Launch Control panel in xHP.

If you have used tools such as MHD/bootmod3/MG-Flasher to disable Kickdown, these modes (and Launch Control) will no longer work. Kickdown must be turned ON in the DME.

When Kickdown Launch is activated, it is always active when DSC is OFF and the car is not using Launch Control, so you can use Burnout Mode on the drag strip to heat the tyres and then activate Launch Control, for example.

I can't understand it
