There's only one reverse gear, so there's really nothing to "kick down" into.

No, but the plate on the throttle shaft should come within about 1mm of it when 
the throttle is wide open. Then pushing the pedal farther will move this plate 
farther without opening the throttle any more. This trips the KDS.
