Was climbing a steep muddy hill the other day and put it in 4Lo and it did really nice! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />


But I forgot to use this (PWR).... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Does anyone no if there is an actual need for this button??????????





Thanks,

Mikey <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

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.

Body Damage is Cool
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.

not a flux capacitor
pwr stands for Pressurized Water Reactor

compressed air into the water reactor acted like those old type water presser rockets worked for kids, but the water only pushed the sporty a 100 feet at a time <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
