It does the same thing as the kick down switch. Just means you can keep the revs up on a part throttle.

So as you can probably guess, TB and Tunnie won't need to use it much.

....
I also never ....... use S button in 3.2.

So HTF can you have an opinion of what the S does! 

Press the bugger .......... then comment on what it does! 


wanders off to find a brick wall ....................

FatherTs 2.2 Auto, MotherTs 3.0 Auto, did I mention not using it in those? Which i drive often. Did I only say that I don't use it in my 3.2 

As always Andy, looking for a dig & stirring for an argument. I pity that wall.

my point entirely

Andy, I have a friend who lives in Frankfurt  3 figure speeds in the UK are in km/h

Agreed .. a good blast every so often will often do a lot of good..... ....

Can I quote you when I use my Omega on a week end to go to work? An empty motorway at 7 am on a Sunday morning is soooooooooooo tempting!   

...ffs be quiet B! everyone will want a go.

There's a 70mph limit on a motorway ...... 

..... And three lanes ......         

You only usually need one on a Sunday morning

if you get up a bit earlier in the week, you can have a lie in on Sunday.

Oh!  ...... I knew that!

I'll quote you when I fail to turn in when I should be working a Sunday. 2 Sundays in, followed by the next 2 off ..... that's my shift pattern

There is a time for part throttle. Or at least thats what I'm told

Shortly after start up, until the engine is up to temp

In reply to "It feels much more responsive" - Its just letting it rev longer. It's no more responsive.

Never said that's not what you want, just pointing out it does not increase the "response" of the engine.

always looking for a dig   

Not looking for a dig at all. If you raise the revs to nearer the 'power band' then you're increasing the responsiveness of the car/engine.
If in a manual car, & you're driving at 30mph in top gear with 900rpm (?) and hit the throttle, it'l never respond, but it you've raised the revs by being in a lower gear, then you've made the car/engine more responsive. That's what the S button does ....

Andy, ime you will never get a 3 pedal driver to understand that using the gears appropriately and sports on an Auto, in the proper hands will make it more responsive and faster than any manual....put it in 3 with sports and challenge them on a twisty road........and who will be the most relaxed at the end of a 10 mile stretch........

     if there is a way to communicate mr autobox, please tell him to disengage clutch set while trying to accelerate..

Cem on yours you should be able to apply the loud pedal progressively given that you have an actual, real live cable cvonnecting the pedal to the throttle those of us with imaginary throttle cables can sometimes struggle with this

I think thats not a problem for someone like you.. what happens if you change the ecu with a 3.0 and the throttle with a conventional old style ? (ignoring some electronic toys which will cause problem)
