Fig 1: Identifying Kickdown Switch

Kickdown switch position	in footwell behind accelerator pedal
Kickdown switch task	Identify kickdown position of accelerator pedal, in order to influence transmission control, cruise control, variable speed limiter and Distronic.
Kickdown switch design	Up to approx. 6/02 designed as an electrical switch (S16/6). As of approx. 7/02 (without engine 166) the electrical switch is replaced by the Kickdown simulator (spring).	GF30.20-P-4011-02C
Kickdown switch function	Engine 111, 112, 113, 119, 120, 137 up to approx 6/02 and Engine 166: on closed contact the ground is switched to the engine control unit As of approx. 7/02 (without Engine 166): Kickdown recognition is performed via the signal of the accelerator pedal sensor.
