I just bought a 2005 S60 2.5T AWD.

How does the "kickdown" work? As I understand it, I floor the accelerator; the automatic transmission goes down one gear; the vehicle accelerates more quickly.

I did that on my new, used S60, while getting on to the highway and it slowed down. I had to ease off the accelerator to make it go faster. Then I could make it go faster with gentle pressure on the accelerator.

Is that right? Is something not working right on my car?
