Guest mk47 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 underneath the accelerator theres a button just push your foot flat down and it will drop a gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Dont mean to act dumb james but never driven an auto before yesterday how do i do that There should be a button under the accelerator pedal, press pedal all the way to the floor resulting in kickdown. Do it with engine off to get feel the button, or just get on your knees a look . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Cheers lads il try that tmrw a couple of times its done that maybe my seats too far back does it matter if o/d or manu is on or off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Cheers lads il try that tmrw a couple of times its done that maybe my seats too far back does it matter if o/d or manu is on or off o/d is 4th gear. Manu mode on allows you to shift gears like a manual. Do a search all will be explained. The search button is found at the top. Or click on the word manu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILKYSMOOTH Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 TIP: In an auto if you kick down at 45-55mph it is superb as well as 80 or 100 mph! Make sure MANU is off (no manu light on dash) as this is used for safe driving in rain/wet conditions, this stops the gears changing down and you can't kick down.

Not booting it off a roundabout will also stop the box changing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I find that keeping things simple and not messing around with MANU mode etc etc when it's wet is the easiest way to keep control - just be sensible. There's no magic button that'll give you more grip in the wet, and the only way the auto box will kick down is if you tell it to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Man Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 If you are new to auto and supra then make sure don't floor it if the front wheel is not straight.... if you lost the back end like me when I just got the supra then it will be costly and almost write off if you hit anything. Take it easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d00gzy Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 once u learn the autobox you will know when the right time to press the accelerator to make it go. To feel plenty of power when u come to a stop, press the accelerator to the floor without any hesitating and it will move, if u hesitate and lift off slightly it will change up a gear and not feel so fast! no need to mess with the manu or overdrive buttons.

paul mac Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Hi guys got my sz auto aerotop yesterday but if im just cruising slow and boot it it tends to say in the same gear for a while how do i get it to go instantly when i want? i had exactly this problem many moons ago in a 200sx it turned out the feckin floor mat had slid under the throttle pedal and on depressing the loud pedal it would not make the kickdown switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted November 13, 2007 Author Share Posted November 13, 2007 Tried today doing about 40-45mph and it kicked down and took off thats what im talking about i think il just leave the manu button alone just now dont really see the need to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovervi Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 i like the manu button for changing down so i can hear the nur spec grumble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Manu mode I found was good for engine breaking when your on a really twisty road, all that you used was 2 and D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
