    Default Power Button ..........

    Whats the deal with this ? I herd its only used if towing , etc .

    Correct me if I am wrong but I thought you use this if you want power ?

    Sorry , may seem like a stupid question , but I only picked up my ride 4 hours ago

    all it does is drop it back into 3rd and makes your engine rev harder thus making your car go faster......

    it changes at what revs your gears change. It just makes it rev more before going up gears but doesn't give you more power

    in my opinion, its not going to make a lot of difference to fuel economy. if you drive it like a supercar, whether you have button on power or economy, it won't make a lot of difference economy wise.
    On highway you'll still cruise in 4th - nothing lost there...

    what do yas reckon?

    I can drive manually with my auto in economy and change shift points by several thousand rpm!
