Joe....now I have tested the "manual" button,
on my way to my work this morning.
And, I have stated this before, and I'm saying it again:
My SVX AT does NOT behave like the Legacy AT, and the Leagcy AT behaves EXACTLY as you describe that your SVX AT does...!!
In the SVX, I DO HAVE kickdown capability when in "Manual" and 3:rd selected.
The only difference between "Econ" and "Manual" is that in the "Manual" mode, the 1:st is canceled out.
Also, on the Legacy AT. I dont have any "kickdown" switch near the "end" of the pedal stroke.
In my SVX , the "kickdown" switch really feels as if the pedal has bottomed out, but a harder press would engage it.
With "Manual" mode, and selector in 3:rd or "D" it won't kick to a lower gear, unless I engage the "kickdown" switch!
I have found that the "Manual" mode is better to use than the "Econ" mode, in highway driving.
(I lack words to describe this in a better way, hopefully understandable anyway
)
