Its used when driving on ice or other conditions where you don't want to lose traction. If you enguage it while you are in 4th it will down shift to 3rd.

S Sportage Getting the Wheeling Fever My Sporty's a manual, but my Kia Carnival is auto The Hold button on it will hold it in the selected gear, or if used in 4th will drop it to 3rd an hold it there. The fact that your revs go up suggests the Sport does the same. Dare to be different '01 Long body, 40mm lift, AVM manual hubs, snorkel.
