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. :P

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.

There's a 70mph limit on a motorway ......  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
..... And three lanes ......  ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)  ::)

You only usually need one on a Sunday morning  ;) ;) ;) ;)

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  :y

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........ :y :y

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

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)
