Full Throttle Detent Downshift - the quick application of the accelerator pedal to the pedal's full travel in order to force a downshift.

Heavy Throttle - approximately 3/4 of the accelerator pedal travel (75% throttle position).

Light Throttle - approximately 1/4 of the accelerator pedal travel (25% throttle position).

Medium Throttle - approximately 1/2 of the accelerator pedal travel (50% throttle position).

Minimum Throttle - the least amount of throttle opening required for a downshift.

Wide Open Throttle - full travel of the accelerator pedal (100% throttle position).

Zero Throttle Coastdown - the full release of the accelerator pedal while the vehicle is in motion and in the drive range.
