Under the throttle pedal. When its pressed, by planting your foot to the floor, it causes the gearbox to drop for maximum acceleration. One, or maybe even two gears at times.

Without it the car would rely on normal shifting and not be very quick.

The best thing that a kickdown switch can offer is that high acceleration at any speeds... Try to "play" with it and you will see!
