It's called kick-down. When you suddenly press harder on the pedal to accelerate harder, your gearbox will automatically downshift.

I'm Canadian and I have never driven manual.

Yeah my dad's last car had that, if you floor it it will go down a gear and keep the revs high as it goes back up the gears.

Usually he buys manual though, as do most people in the UK at the moment.
