I asked Kia about this button. They said it was initially for a flux capacitor, but that the Sportage was not able to handle the surge, so it just changes the shift points.

GONE, all I have left are a few spare parts and the wheels.

The manual says it raises the transmission shift points so you get higher rpm before shift. I still don't know if it works in lo, i usually shift manually anyway. I imagine sticks don't have this button. All crazyness and jokes aside, do you have an owners manual? I might be able to send you a copy. What i said was prety much word for word from the manual. I mean, it doesn't say anything about a flux capacitor? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

That's my assumption as well, more RPM's while wheel'n and pull'n cuz we have very little Torque/HP to begin with.
Auto Sporty's are a bit more gutless than the sticks.
I know this cuz I drove both before purchase.
