Kickdown

(KD) A British term for a forced downshift, i.e., a device on a automatic transmission which allows the driver to switch to a lower gear during hill climbing or passing. Instead of manually moving the gear selector, he simply pushes down hard on the accelerator. This gear is sometimes called "passing gear"
