power button

what does it exactly do.... i know it makes your car go harder... but more technical? thanks

[johnvtls1]

it changes the way the car changes gears. It holds the revs out longer and it also drops down the gears quicker. people dont think it does too much but in my car its all the difference.

ECONOMY AND POWER AND CRUISE MODE

The programming in the Powertrain Control Module (PWM) provides for these three different shift patterns which are driver controllable, through the use of the Economy/Power button, located in the centre console.

Economy Mode
The calibration for this mode is for maximum comfort, with minimal intrusion of engine noise and smooth shifts under all driving conditions. When additional power is required for acceleration, full throttle upshifts are similar to those calibrated for the Power Mode.

Power Mode
When activated, the PCM modifies the transmission calibration in the following ways:
1. When the throttle is less than 80% open, later upshift points are provided.
2. Shift time is reduced.
The Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) will be applied in both third and fourth speed ranges.

Cruise Mode
When the cruise control (if fitted) is engaged, the PCM modifies the transmission calibration so that earlier downshifts and later upshift points are provided.

End Of Story! Done to death. This applies from VT Onwards. If you searched the forum you might've found the answer at least 20 times!?

The power button (as already said) makes you rev harder....use your imagination, it doesn't just apply to towing :-P
